This volume traces the gradual emergence of the New City of Jerusalem beyond the walls and completes the picture of the development of the entire city during the 19th century and up to the First World War. It was during this period that the isolating walls erected by the Ottoman authorities began to crumble and Western influence increased. The Christian churches, European powers and Western modernization played an increasingly central role in the development of Jerusalem. Side by side with the "Old Yishuv", the ultra religious Jewish element living in Jerusalem, the 19th century saw the formation of the "New Yishuv" - trying to establish modern patterns of life and national Zionist ideas there. Both elements put their mark on the dynamic changes in the city and its life. -- Contents: Preface; Part One: Landscape of Jerusalem Beyond the Walls Prior to the New Building: Historical Sites, Cemeteries, Arab Villages, Flora and Agriculture 1 Historical Sites on Mount Zion, in West and North Jerusalem 2 Cemeteries and Historical Sites on the Mount of Olives, in the Kidron Valley and the Valley of Hinnom 3 Arab Villages in the Environs of Jerusalem 4 Pre-Modern Landscape Outside the Walls; Vegetation, Agriculture and Arab Buildings; Parts Two: Early Growth of New Jerusalem: First Building Projects, Road Development, Pioneer Jewish Neighbourhoods and the City in General up to 1882 1 Initial Ventures Beyond the Walls 1850-1880 2 Transport and Communications: Early Development 3 Pioneer Jewish Settlements Outside the Old City up to the "First Aliya" 1882 4 General Development of the City up to the Early 1880s; Part Three: Construction of Jewish Jerusalem Outside the Walls: Neighbourhoods and Public Institutions 1 New Neighbourhoods of the 1880s 2 1891-1897: Seven Years of Construction 3 Up to the First World War 4 Jewish Public Institutions Beyond the Walls: Health, Charity and Modern Education; Part Four: New Jerusalem Prior to the First World War: Non-Jewish Activity 1 American-Swedish Colony; France and Other Catholic Powers 2 Intensified Russian Activity and Pilgrimages; Activity of the Other Eastern Churches; Jaffa Road 3 Britain and Germany; Street of the Prophets; Kaiser's Visit 4 Muslim Community; Government and Municipal Activity; Part Five: Economic and Cultural Development of New Jerusalem 1 Impact of Modernisation: Railroad, Mail Service, Banking, Tourism and Hotels 2 Changing Face of the Jewish Community: Economic Aspects 3 Advent of Modern Education; Cultural Development; Epilogue - A New City: The Rhythm of an Era; Sources and Bibliography; Indexes.
