    www.planum.net - The Journal of Urbanism Mapping communities and social problems in Jerusalem. Demographic trends, neighbourhood identities and clashing narratives. Claudia De Martino 1 by Planum, Ottobre 2011 II Semester 2011, ISSN 1723-0993 1 Claudia De Martino é ricercatrice presso UNIMED, Unione delle Università del Mediterraneo e dottoranda in Storia Sociale del Mediterraneo all'Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia.
