Review
Even a total pessimist can draw optimism from the vision of the Arc.
Haaretz, April 25, 2005
A California architect and political naif has proposed an elegant plan for a new state. Against all odds, people are listening. . . . [I]t amounts to a reimagining not only of the landscape . . . but also of the Palestinian experience. . . . It is a glimpse, so rarely seen these days, of a reconciling land, post-conflict, post-occupation, post-terrorism.
The New York Times, May 15, 2005
It's a futuristic concept as stunning as it is implausible. . . . It may be no more than a dream but true progress rarely comes without starting in a dream.
The Independent, May 21, 2005
[A] visionary plan for a sweeping infrastructure corridor that would lay the foundation for a prospective Palestinian state. Developed by Suisman Urban Design and RAND Corporation, the Arc offers a tangible and detailed vision of a successful and prosperous Palestine, living side by side with Israel in peace and security. . . . [A] powerful and inspiring vision not only of the infrastructure for a successful Palestinian state, but of a new path to help reach the long-sought peace that must accompany it.
The Huffington Post, August 9, 2010
Clear, functional logic . . . a great project.
