Big plans —
The $1 billion Rawabi development sits high in the hills in the West Bank. The vision for the finished project includes homes for 40,000 residents.

Fully equipped —
The vision for the finished project includes homes for 40,000 residents and three schools.

Public spaces —
A cultural center, shown here, is one of the many amenities that will be part of Rawabi. It will also have an amphitheater, a park and a convention center.

Middle-class community —
The home prices may be out of reach for many, but the developer says 90% of the listed units have already been sold.

Economic boon —
The construction of Rawabi, which began in January 2010, has created thousands of jobs and could bring more after the first residents move in.

Risky proposition —
Regional instability could severely disrupt the project, but the developer says it would cause a delay in completion, not the end of Rawabi.
