Abstract
Histories of the walled-cities may be traced most exactly by reviewing the sites, removal and rebilding of their walls. There seems many such interesting examples the walled-cities in China. But the present writer only intends to trace the transformation of town-landscape in Jerusalem, by inspecting the related books and maps. Modernization is occuring on the oldest and most peculiar city in the world, but there stood dirty, ill-paved and crooked streets in comparison with macadamazised motor roads in Jewish Colony. The wall of it still separates, as defore, the modern human groups from the old, traditional communities. Both landscape, in-and out of the wall exemplify this fact clearly.
