Abstract
ABSTRACT Informed by pioneering urban sociologist Robert Park, this study proposes a new layer of investigation of urban practices: the analysis of art projects. The unique story of Ashdod, a coastal city in Israel’s southern periphery, made it a fascinating case study for Project Ashdod, a multiscale art intervention. Ashdod, Israel’s first planned city, was moulded as an immigrant’s city, leading to its current segregated structure, with districts differing along ethnic and socioeconomic lines. Combining urban spatial methods with art content analysis, the article explores the different ways in which Project Ashdod reflects its titular city according to Park’s terminology.
