Description
Summary:This article analyses the on-going colonial situation in Jerusalem in real time in contrast to similar research that focuses on past cases. Using the time variable, the author illustrates how different settler-colonial urban strategies create two spatial systems, thereby producing two different temporal patterns for two different groups in the same space: the coloniser whose time is conserved and the colonised whose time is depleted. The article shows the spatial and temporal impact of colonial urban planning on the colonised through examples, including the ‘Separation Wall' and checkpoints. The author advocates for temporal autonomy for the colonised in Jerusalem.
