Damascus city is the capital of Syria a middle eastern country in the Arab world, located in the west south of Syria with a population of 1.780.000 (CIVIL AFFAIRS RECORDS, CBSSYR, 2011) with a density range between 714 inhabitants/ha in crowded areas to 37 inhabitants/ha in new planned area, because of its role as the capital of Syria; it is considered to be the political and the administrative center, and...

Pollutant emissions are related with several anthropogenic sources, such as biomass heating systems in buildings, the vicinity of industries and especially the intense road traffic. Improvements in air quality and consequent mitigation of climate changes are essential to achieve a more sustainable urban environment. The presence of vegetation sprawled in urban areas is important to achieve this goal. This paper analysis the capacity of several plant species to capture atmospheric pollutants, and specifically Particulate Matter (PM) in urban environment. The adopted methodology focuses on measuring and calculating the ability to absorb PM by three plant species-Parthenocissus quinquefólia, Hedera Helix and Quercus palustris Muenchh-in periods of exposure to pollutants from 3 to 14 days. The specific removal of air pollutants by plants is a parameter influenced by several factors, such as the type of associated green infrastructure, leaf area, leaf density, plant species, location, exposure time and the type of the polluting source. From this research it can be concluded that the type of plant and its morphological characteristics are more influential than the size of its leaves.

The establishment of Palestinian Authority in 1995 led to engage the public through a ‘comprehensive development plan’ by the partnership established between Nablus Municipality and the Urban & Regional Planning unit at AnNajah 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.
