Gaza City, Palestine · 590,000 people · Coastal City

The city

Landmark: Anthedon Harbour & Great Mosque of Gaza.

• The Palestinian Water Authority operates coastal desalination plants to address critical groundwater salinisation — the Gaza coastal aquifer has been overextracted by 200% for decades, leaving over 97% of its groundwater unfit for drinking, making municipal desalination capacity and intermittent power management the defining infrastructure challenge for supplying safe water to Gaza City's residents.
• Gaza Municipality maintains the Anthedon Harbour — a Phoenician-era port site predating 800 BCE — managing an archaeological preservation zone inside an active fishing harbour where heritage officers coordinate between fishing boat access and the ongoing excavation of submerged ancient stone quays and Hellenistic-era harbour structures.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Gaza City's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
