The ‘urbicide’ in Gaza has destroyed entire neighbourhoods, institutional and community spaces, upended lives, displaced people, and disrupted socio-spatial networks and practices associated with places of significance. This map a people-centered thematic recording of the ongoing urbicide in Gaza. The map highlights three people-centered themes associated with urbicide: the disruption of socio-spatial practices, displacement, and everyday resistance. The data which informs these themes are photographs, videos, and written narratives which have been shared by individuals, media groups, and social media accounts. These sources tell stories about people’s connection to places in Gaza, and are often created by people who are living in Gaza.
