The urbanisation process in East Jerusalem has been described as a still process, in other words, a frozen or even rarely-developed process. This paper explores the Green and Open Landscape concept as one of the dominant factors described in the Jerusalem Master Plan. This factor is one that restrains urbanisation and hinders expansion of the Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem. Both descriptive and comparative approaches were adopted to analyse and evaluate the historical development of green spaces and open landscape concepts in East Jerusalem. The paper examines the current status of these spaces and policies with objectives for misusing these spaces to implement and achieve Israeli policies. The overall objective of the Israeli policies appears to be to hinder the Palestinian development and expansion process in East Jerusalem while speeding-up the expansion and building process of more Israeli settlements.
