all the details

The plan, initiated by the Ramat Gan municipality, defines the development trends along main axes in the city and a clear hierarchy of construction capacities.

Thus, according to the plan, high-rise construction, over 35 stories, is planned to be along Jabotinsky Road, in the Stock Exchange complex, along Ben Gurion Road in the northern part and in the Ramat Gan Stadium complex.

A construction of up to 35 floors is planned to be along Abba Hillel, Alof Sade Road and along the Pilots Road.

Construction of up to 20 stories will be along the skeleton streets such as the Ra'a and Jerusalem St., along which a metro line will run.

Within the neighborhoods and in the city center, the goal is to maintain textured construction of 8-9 stories. In neighborhoods where there is low construction: Kiryat Borochov, Tel Ganim, Tel Binyamin, Ramat Chen, Hillel neighborhood, Shikon Vatikim, Kfar Azar and Ramat Afel, the plan preserves the nature of the building as a detached building.

The vision of the new city

As part of the response to the growth of the city's population, the plan proposes the establishment of educational institutions in employment areas, such as the stock exchange complex and the expansion of existing educational institutions.

Also, the plan defines three types of urban renewal: the first with maximum intervention, in which the renewal will be in high volumes and intensities and with a significant addition of housing units;

the second, urban renewal with conditional intervention, in which the renewal will be limited in scope and intensity;

And the third, renewal with minimal intervention, characterized by nurturing the existing situation and maintaining the texture.

The upgraded city includes parks (Yarkon Park, the National Park and the Safari), an employment area (Stock Exchange), a center for higher education (Bar Ilan University), Tel Hashomer Hospital and the Ramat Gan Stadium that serve all residents of the metropolis.

The city's vision is to create a regenerating city for the well-being of its residents with a variety of uses, a city with urban and business happenings along with a center of attraction for all residents of the metropolis.
