Palestine in context.
The atlas uses public Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics boundary and locality data, with Gaza City marked as the playable focus.
PCBS public GIS ↗Every place has a name.
Gaza City is the focus of UNWAN’s connected playable world. Its named districts, coast, historic centre, public geography, and cultural landmarks establish real context around an authored story environment.
A real place, an interpreted world.
UNWAN connects sourced geographic context with a symbolic game-scale environment. The distinction matters: real place names and records are not a claim that every fictional street, home, or story event exists at that location.
