Founded in 2024 by young Palestinian professionals from Jerusalem, Manbat is a pioneering non-governmental organization dedicated to research, professional training, and cross-sector collaboration to address the urgent social, political, and economic challenges of East Jerusalem.

We believe in the power of data, place, and people to drive change — and we build the tools, knowledge, and networks to make that possible.

The Palestinian Placemaking Network is a cross-border, community-led initiative that connects urban professionals from Jerusalem, the West Bank, the 1948 areas, and the diaspora. Together, we’re rewriting the story of Palestinian public space — rooted in presence, belonging, and justice.
