CONNECTING CULTURE AND INNOVATION
THROUGH COMMUNITY
1
Israel is a vibrant, advanced, diverse country with a multicultural population, representing a wide range of communities that preserve their cultures and heritage. Israel is also a high-tech and innovation super-power that was recently ranked fifth in the world in Bloomberg's innovation ranking.
Israeli cities are very dense, with 93% of the country's population living in them. With one of the highest population growth rates in the world (about 2% per year), highly dense cities are one of the most pressing challenges of the country, a challenge that calls for creative and advanced solutions. The Israeli pavilion presents such solutions, focusing on three aspects: 1. Creation and Conservation of CommunitiesCreation and Conservation of Communities - presented by projects on the right side of the pavilion
2. Urban Urban ConsConservation ervation and Renewaland Renewal - presented by projects in the middle section of the pavilion.

CREATION AND CONSERVATION OF COMMUNITIES
OLD JAFFA - CULTURAL-ARTISTIC CENTER
The Atarim Group is a municipal that is responsible for the development and management of the Tel-Aviv Yafo coastline. The company manages the Jaffa Port, Old Jaffa, the Tachana, the Tel-Aviv Marina, the Tel-Aviv Port, and the Eastern Fair, as well as other assets along the city’s coastline. Our coastline is home to millions of visitors from around the world, alongside fishermen, yachtsmen, water sports aficionados, bathers, etc. We aim to improve the quality of life of residents, tourists and businesses in the city. We balance culture, recreation, and the ocean. The key to our success lies in maintaining the delicate balance of sustainable development alongside tradition and multicultural community.
Old Jaffa is currently in the midst of renewal, which underlies the investment in artistic and cultural content. Old Jaffa is an inspiring urban space with multiple areas of interest – fringe theater, museums, residency programs for young artists, pop-up studios, and galleries covering an array of artistic fields from silversmiths to digital art.
Atarim is aiming to maintain Old Jaffa as an inspiring cultural-artistic center in order to expose and encourage local and veteran art alongside youthful innovation. Subsequently, Atarim is developing artistic project sites and advancing cultural projects such as establishment of an open street gallery in Old Jaffa alleys - 60 art lightboxes that are accessible to the general public, new art in the alleys of Old Jaffa, artist residency programs, artistic events for young artists, etc., all in order to revive the artists quarter in Old Jaffa while incorporating innovation, progress, equality, and fraternity.
The Atar project includes young artists from a range of traditional art sectors such as sculpting and painting alongside modern artists including performers, and video artists. The artists focus on creating young, contemporary art, and receive a studio to work in at the Jaffa Museum, where they can work and create art during a three-month period, which will include exhibitions, art displays, open lessons, rehearsals, etc. for the general public that is invited to view the creation of art in Old Jaffa.
In 2020, the Sisu artist residency apartment is scheduled to open – an artist residency program for select artists. Artists will work in studios located in the alleys of Old Jaffa to incorporate them in the community of artists in the old quarter and to restore the charm of creativity and art that had existed in the alleys of Old Jaffa in the previous century.
For this purpose, space that is between rentals and that is not populated is allotted for pop-up exhibitions for young artists, events open to the general public – evenings of music and intimate concept, midnight screening of films, large musical performances, cultural performances and collaborations with major media entities, etc.

URBAN CONSERVATION AND RENEWAL
KIRYAT MOSHE PROJECT
Kiryat Moshe is a neighborhood in the city of Rehovot with 6,700 residents, 43% are Jewish immigrants, mainly from Ethiopia.
This project is a detailed plan for urban renewal, as part of the governmental decision to promote urban renewal and regeneration in neighborhoods with a majority of Jew of Ethiopian descent. According to these plans, most of the old apartment buildings will be demolished, and in their stead, new residential buildings will be constructed. The plan makes use of available land near the neighborhood (called ‘supplemental land'), to subsidize the existing apartments.
The project is led jointly by the Urban Renewal Authority, the City of Rehovot, with significant involvement of the neighborhood board.
Today there are 1,629 apartments in the neighborhood. The plan allows the building of additional 8,000 new housing units, which will turn the neighborhood into a vast and central block of the city. Today, approximately 7,000 residents live in it, and in the future, 30,000 residents will be able to occupy the neighborhood. The plan includes an additional allocation of public buildings and open spaces on approximately 100 Acres in total and is accompanied by massive infrastructure development agreement between the state and the municipality.
As part of the renewal program, a set of assistance tools was given to the residents, such
as the establishment of a community administrative authority, funding for fully executing resident’s rights, and social care and assistance.

URBAN CONSERVATION AND RENEWAL
ACTION PLAN FOR LOD’S OLD CITY
Rebuilding the Old City of Lod - Master Plan and Action PlanRebuilding the Old City of Lod - Master Plan and Action Plan
The ancient city of Lod exists for thousands of years and went through major changes throughout its existence, from Roman times to Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman, British and now Israeli governance.
Not many built remains are left from the city's glorious history yet significant enough to create a strong impression. Social housing projects were built amongst these ruins during the second half of the 20th century which are now facing decay and collapse. The Israeli government and the city of Lod initiated a plan to regenerate the built housing fabric and at the same time to preserve the old remains of the ancient city. The plan is to create a living environment that is new and urban, but at the same time incorporate the nature of the old city.
To achieve these goals, two plans for long term planning and immediate intervention were initiated to be executed simultaneously. The long-term plan created a path for renewal of the dwellings by offering the inhabitants a chance to receive a new and bigger apartment at no cost on their behalf. The short and immediate path is made possible through an action plan for the execution of all of the public spaces in the old city. The master plan and the action plan were both created for the city of Lod by the office of Derman Verbakel Architecture who worked together with the Lod Development Corporation and the local municipality.
The action plan offered a wide spectrum of projects to renew, preserve and rebuild the old and beautiful remains and the public spaces of the city: streets, squares, market and holy places for the three religions. At the same time, the master plan created a new future of urbanity that allows for new residential buildings in a variety of typologies and heights to be erected instead of the old ones, yet by maintaining direct contact with the old city.
All the streets in the masterplan connect directly to the old city center, and the ground floor in the new buildings offer a continuous façade with commerce and public uses. The street level of the old and the new together is redefined in the plan as “The Lod Layer” allowing visitors - as well as inhabitants - to stroll, shop and meet in the old and new streets that are interacting seamlessly. For these streets, a new design language was created in order to highlight old design features through complex tile design, custom made street furniture, lighting, and shading elements.

SEA QUARTER HADERA - SMARTAINABLE.HOOD
Sea Quarter Hadera – Smartainable.hoodSea Quarter Hadera – Smartainable.hood
The project is an innovative Master Plan for the new Sea Quarter of Hadera, located on the northern shoreline of the city, halfway between the northern and central metropolises of Tel-Aviv and Haifa.
The quarter is designed as an intensive mixed-use development, including multi-residential complexes, tourism, offices, retail and public buildings. The unique characteristic of this neighborhood is its focus on creating a sustainable synergy between the built environment, natural habitat and the future community. This is possible by utilizing flexible urban planning tools and integrating localized infrastructure and data-based local management systems. This project is the first of its kind in Israel, and one of the first globally, attempting to consider uncertainty regarding future developments such as technological advances, demands, regulations, future residents and market trends, by incorporating tools that enable adaptation to changing future scenarios. This innovative scheme is geared for sustainability, enabling an inclusive, high quality and climate adaptable urbanscape.
The solutions suggested in the master plan holistically combine urban planning, infrastructure and 'socio-communal' tools', in an attempt to engage the residents in changing behavior regarding issues such as energy and water conservation, waste and treatment of semi-public areas through creating communal responsibility.
Ambitious Goals: nearly net-zero energy - 50% electricity from national grid, 100% smart green building clusters; nearly 100% zero-water, with 80% re-use and no potable water irrigation; full symbiosis between the waste and wastewater systems; 30% cost reduction on waste and wastewater treatment; at least 30% reduction of landfill; waste to energy concepts; and 50% reduction of private transport, turning instead to public transport and community car sharing concepts.
