The term 'urban enclaves' describes distinct areas within a large city, which have a unique cultural, ethnic, social or economic identity, often significantly different from the surrounding urban landscape. Nazareth, a city of special religious importance, and has many lands owned by church institutions. These areas include many open spaces alongside church buildings, but they are disconnected from the urban continuum and exist as urban enclaves. The walls around the enclaves create a physical boundary that separates the church complex from the surrounding urban area. These enclaves create urban separations and interruptions, they are not accessible or used by the city's residents who suffer from a lack of open public spaces. The project redefines the place of church enclaves in urban life in Nazareth. It illuminates the social role of the church as part of the urban community that considers itself responsible for promoting the well-being of the local urban community and therefore develops institutions such as hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. From a clear moral position of concern and care for the community, the project proposes to harness the areas of the urban enclaves to develop and use them as healthy and ecological green spaces. It proposes to turn the enclaves into an urban, scenic, green, ecological, movement and cultural generator to break down physical and symbolic barriers, and create a more inclusive and cohesive urban environment The project articulates the connections between the urban enclaves and the surrounding urban fabric. He develops the system of walls that separates around the church into a three-dimensional built mass that creates pedestrian continuity and develops activities between the church and the city. These moves support social integration, urban connectivity and economic vitality in Nazareth.
