Figure 2.

Left: Beersheba's Israeli plan. The neighborhoods (light brown) were planned as disconnected amoebas, drenched in green, around an urban center (dark brown). The squares to the southwest represent the Ottoman town, designated to become a marginal neighborhood. Right: Neighborhood A (no. 2 on the map). Both plans embody a conceptual design detached from the desert reality. Source: Sharon 1951, pp. 58–59
