The Tel Aviv District Planning and Construction Committee announced today that it has decided to validate the construction plan at the Dov airport in Tel Aviv. This is an inclusive plan that completes the outline plan for the city of Tel Aviv Cell / 5000, which designated the Sde Dov area as "future planning area". The decision allows for the development of the city continuously north.
The total area of the program, which is signed by architect Ari Cohen, is about 1,300 dunams and comprises 16,000 housing units, of which 2,400 housing units for affordable housing, 4,500 special housing units (student dormitories, sheltered housing, nursing homes, rental housing, etc. ). The plan also includes about 500,000 square meters for public buildings, about 125,000 square meters for commercial space, about 330,000 square meters for employment areas, about 125,000 square meters for hotels and about 365 acres of parkland and public areas.
The construction in the new district, combines 5-10 storey construction with construction of about 35 towers up to 40 stories, which accompany the main streets in the district. The plan relies on a skeleton of streets, the main one of which is Ibn Gvirol Street, along which the light rail line - the Green Line - will pass. The proposed scenic development forms part of a set of areas for the management of runoff water, ranging from a planting strip to areas for pooling and stay of runoff water.
The plan establishes a reduced parking standard, which also relies on the light rail line (the "green line") passing through the area of the new district. Also, the streets were designed to create comfortable walking space. The program maintains reserves for the construction of garbage collection facilities, runoff management facilities, and to store and generate energy in accordance with future technological developments in this field.
Tel Aviv District Planner in Planning Administration, Eva Erlich-Roginsky noted, "The process of approving the Sde Dov Plan presented the Planning Bureau with design and process challenges that required great attention and investment. To compromise on quality while responding to all objections and reservations raised in the process. "
