The 2021 Urban Engineers Conference opened yesterday (Monday) with a storm, in an emergency session that included the chairman of the Center for Local Government, Haim Bibbs, the chairman of the Association of Urban Engineers Tzachi Katz and the outgoing chairman Avner Ackerman. And the Association of Contractors, as leading to dangerous damage to cities and their quality of life, in hasty and self-interested decisions, and without consultation with local authorities in the local authorities. Construction is thus leading to an increase in housing prices.
Bibbs was the first to speak and announced 3 amendments to the law under the Arrangements Act that he managed to thwart regarding planning and construction in the last 24 hours.
Abolition of residential integration in employment in existing buildings, abolition of infrastructure construction by the Ministry of Housing without coordination with the authorities, and abolition of the establishment of kindergartens for ages 3 to 6 in residential apartments without the local committee's permission.
"We will not be dependent on officials who have failed and will tell us what to do - will not arise and will not be," Bibbs attacked.
"The only ones who know how to do things right are the local committees and city engineers and we have to give them credit. There was an attempt at end-of-season hijackers - let's eliminate everything - so I say - we'll stand for everything."

Bibbs accused government officials of being cut off. "They are trying to blame the local government and the city engineers as the ones responsible for the high housing prices. It has no connection to reality," he said. "The planning assumptions given from above prove that the government and government officials are completely disconnected from the people, who do not know what is happening below. Already a year ago we warned that without mayors and city engineers as planning partners it is impossible to succeed. But RMI should make a profit, the Planning Administration should make a profit and the contractors should make a profit. When everyone wants to lower prices and everyone also wants to make a profit it does not work. Two factors have an interest in prices not falling: the Ministry of Finance and entrepreneurs. I say developers because contractors who build no longer exist. And when everyone is an entrepreneur there is no choice but to bring in foreign workers. Chinese, Turks and all that hut. When you want to produce 70-80 thousand housing units a year, there is no escape - this is the only way we will lower prices. "
The chairman of the Association of Urban Engineers, Tzachi Katz, also referred to the Arrangements Law. A cynical law is used that is economic in nature, for the benefit of groups of the poor, for the purpose of grabbing quick political gains, without thinking about the planning of the city and the dire consequences on the lives of the residents. The Builders of the Land Association is one of the main pressure groups, trying to influence legislation and the world of planning for reasons of viability and not for quality reasons. The contractors, the biggest beneficiaries of housing prices, are sowing panic and panic soon government officials, to make decisions that seemingly will address in the short term. We know it does not work. It is possible to streamline planning processes, but not by castrating city engineers and local authorities. The hasty legislation is dangerous.
The role of legislation is to enable planning, to produce tools.
As an advancing advice legislation bypasses a feature.
We are experiencing for the first time seeds of planning fascism under the auspices of the law.
We are warning of the popular climate that has been created and is gaining momentum in recent years in the field of planning and construction.
Urgent changes from thunderstorm to thunderstorm, chaos and planning failure.
We demand long-term thinking and writing the Planning and Reconstruction Act.
Would minimize regulatory and adjusted to the spirit of the times. "
The former chairman of the union, Avner Ackerman, said briefly:" created a dangerous situation in Israel - bypass design. Pace of legislation and populism does not allow us to digest the changes. This situation has to change ".
