City of Technology, Science and Industry

Palestine polytechnic university

Project idea

The significance of technology has become wider than playing a limited role to meet people’s needs in the field of information and communication only, but also includes all areas of life.
Today, it is at the forefront of political and research concerns in research centers and universities around the world. Every day we hear about an important invention or event in the field of technological technologies. The frantic competition with support and generous encouragement for research and development by governments in the developed world requires striving to build projects that serve the technological system that involves training, education and research centers according to international specifications.
The gap that separates those who possess knowledge and the ability to exploit it and the ability to use information technology and computers has made the differences between the countries of the developed and developing world and between the different regions of the world known as the digital divide which was accompanied by another gap in the availability of the base and the main infrastructure of facilities and buildings working to employ technology in the areas life and its development with regard to the Palestinian society, we find that it is limited to associations and small gardens that are limited to simple aspects that don’t make tangible differences and the idea of technology city may seem a good idea to help narrow the existing gap.
