Public participation in Nablus City, the commercial center of Palestine, advanced the urban planning process in the city. The establishment of Palestinian Authority in 1995 led to engage the public through a {\textquoteleft}comprehensive development plan{\textquoteright} by the partnership established between Nablus Municipality and the Urban \& Regional Planning unit at An-Najah National University. The strategic planning of Nablus city reached its peak in 2006, when the Municipality widely engaged the civil society in the planning process. This occurred mainly through the representation of most civil society bodies during the period from 2006 to 2015.
