The meeting, which was held between 13 and 15 February, focused on exchanging the information available at the municipalities of the three towns of Bethlehem, Ramallah and As Salt, and setting steps for the future works for each site, and on preparing an action plan for the project based on the data available at the three sites. The participants also visited the historic town of As Salt, explored its cultural heritage, and contributed in guiding the Jordanian team in formulating a vision for the conservation plan of the town.
