This village forms the best m{)del that resembles the MamloukOttoman village in Palestine The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) signed an agreement with the United Nations Development Programme/ Prograrnme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (UNDPIP APP) to fund a project that has a component of Cultural Heritage Restoration. Due to the historical importance of Kour, it was included in the Project. To accomplish the consolidation work in Kour; ESSEC was assigned by UNDPIPAPP to make this study.
