'An exemplary architectural study' - Owen Hatherley, Guardian

Tel Aviv, the Zionist project's 'White City, ' is said to have risen from the sands of the desert. Acclaimed worldwide for its architectural heritage and gleaming Bauhaus-inspired Modernism, it is ostensibly designed to be a safe home for the Jewish people.

However, the reality of the city's establishment was very different. Hidden below its foundations are the remains of Jaffa - the 'Black City, ' a Palestinian city that was obliterated to make way for European-style architecture at the heart of a newly-formed Israel.

Both a gripping narrative and a unique architectural record, White City, Black City shows that cities are made not only of stones and concrete but also of stories and histories - victors and losers, predator and prey.

This new edition contains a postscript reflecting on the recent destruction of the Gaza Strip.
