according to the CBS's temporary population estimates for 2021.


According to data relating to localities with more than 2,000 residents, about 10,902 residents chose to leave the city in the past year. few years.

Every week, about a million residents of the world move from the village to the city.


Architect Gil Ivory, Canaan Shenhav Architects,

notes that the 21st century is characterized by increased urbanity.

Every week, about a million residents of the world move from the village to the city.

The move to the city was born from the opportunities the city produces for its residents.

It can be an opportunity for employment, quality education, culture, business and even romance and sports activities, depending on the needs of the resident at any time in his life.


A good city is a city that provides the most opportunities for its residents.

In the event of a negative migration, the city's breadwinners should check what is missing in the fabric of opportunities that the city provides to its residents which causes the residents to leave and take action to improve the situation.

It may be a shortage of places of entertainment, a shortage of places of employment or high apartment prices that do not allow residents to continue living in the city.

Urban renewal as a solution to negative internal migration from old cities.

Nir Shmol, CEO of the Snir Development and Urban Renewal Company,

notes that the solution to creating positive immigration to older cities lies in urban renewal in city centers.

The more large urban renewal projects are promoted in the city centers that will contribute to both increasing supply and renewing entire complexes, the more negative migration and moving to new neighborhoods on the outskirts of cities will be prevented.

According to him, it is important to strengthen the city centers and become a magnet for residents, both as a tool to increase supply and create stability in apartment prices and to prevent neglect of the old neighborhoods and provide a social and economic solution for residents living there today.

Adv. Dikla Musari Tal, former chairman of the Haifa District Appeals Committee and owner of the law firm Musari Tal - Lawyers,

refers to the data and notes that migration trends between localities in Israel are influenced by a number of factors, which vary from city to city and are unique to it.

However, one of the prominent factors that is the same for all cities suffering from negative immigration is the rise in housing prices, which creates a situation where residents can not continue to live in the same city.

Another common reason is the "aging" of the city - the buildings are becoming obsolete, apartments without security and without reinforcement and lack of supply of new apartments.

Many residents choose to move to nearby cities where housing prices are cheaper, or the supply of apartments is greater.

For example, immigration from Haifa to Tirat Carmel, Krayot and Nesher, moving from Tel Aviv to Ramat Gan or Givatayim, or from Ashdod to Ashkelon and the like.

On the other hand, it can be seen that there is positive migration to cities where there is significant urban renewal or where new neighborhoods are being built that increase the supply of new apartments in the city.

Not all authorities are interested in increasing the number of residents.

According to

Adv. Dikla Musari Tal


, in recent years a situation has arisen in which, contrary to the national needs of increasing the supply of housing, quite a

few authorities, especially in demand areas, are not interested in increasing housing supply due to lack of infrastructure and high costs of housing densification and addition of residents.

Expressed in authorities' objections to high-density plans, opposition to umbrella agreements for the construction of new neighborhoods and avoidance of approving large urban renewal plans.This issue requires a national solution and government intervention that will encourage the authorities to build more.

This week the Ministry of Housing announced that it will subsidize apartments to be built in urban renewal in areas of demand.

The cities that will sign the agreements will receive a grant of NIS 25,000 for each apartment that receives a building permit in an evacuation-construction project or TMA 38 in the next three years, provided there are at least 2,500 such apartments in each city.


This is a step in the right direction, That will enable the creation of a large supply of apartments in accordance with the growth forecasts of the population.
