Israel Highway large projects goes beyond Israel's economic growth, rather is a complementary tool of geopolitical expansion. Importantly, the book focusses on an overlooked territorial unit, namely the frontier with the occupied West?Bank. This book is a must-read as in offers a productive lens to understand the territorial reality, spatial politics and social fragmentation of Israel while engaging with critical theory.'

Since the late 1970s, the state aimed to expand the heavily populated coastal area eastwards into the occupied Palestinian territories, granting favoured groups of individuals, developers and entrepreneurs the ability to influence the formation of built space as a means to continuously develop and settle national frontiers. As these settlements developed, they became a physical manifestation of the relationship between the political interest to control space and the ability to form it. Telling a socio-political and economic story from an architectural and urban history perspective, Gabriel Schwake demonstrates how this production of space can be seen not only as a cultural phenomenon, but also as one that is deeply entangled with geopolitical agendas.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e 1.
