Map shows what would happen to Gaza under the US ‘master plan’
Plan treats Gaza as vacant beachfront property
The US ‘master plan’ proposes treating Gaza as vacant beachfront property, with glass towers and industrial zones being developed over historic sites.
Proposed development zones
A ‘coastal tourism’ zone is designated along the seafront, where 180 tower-blocks and various industrial zones would be constructed.
Controversial redevelopment plan
The plan, associated with US President Donald Trump’s proposed redevelopment strategy, has raised significant concerns about the preservation of Gaza’s historical and cultural heritage.
Analysis and criticism
Analyst breakdowns of the map show that the plan aligns closely with the needs of certain economic models, but raises serious questions about the displacement of communities and the erasure of historical sites.
