This project is currently in schematic design, with construction starting in spring 2021. An article in The Lancet cautions, however, that while the map may have served as a useful illustration of Snow’s theory, it fell short of demonstrating cause and effect in a clear-cut scientific way. It would appear, however, that after a generation or two of living in the U.S. the Hispanic advantage begins to disappear. Walking street by street, Wallach poked his way into abandoned buildings and copied graffiti, elaborate inscriptions on tombs and public buildings, shop signs, and place markers to tell the story of Jerusalem from mid-nineteenth century Ottoman rule to the end of the British protectorate in 1948.
