There are three main populations in Jerusalem: one third is Ultraorthodox Jewish population, one third is Palestinian (secular and religious, Christian and Muslim) and one third is religious and secular Jewish population.

Generally these groups live in different parts of the city, but there are also some more or less mixed population neighborhoods. We decided to take one street, Jaffa rd., to show the neighborhoods of the two sides of the street. But we also wanted to show the atmosphere of this multicultural city: so we asked young people to talk about living in Jerusalem.

In order to highlight the religion in Jerusalem expressed also in religious turism, we made 3 different maps to include MUST-SEE places for the different populations, including one map with places from different population. In these ways we hope to show the complexity and intertwined environment that the city offers.
