The importance of the city of Tel Aviv to its metropolitan area as well as at to the entire country requires the city to keep growing. A central tenet of the Tel Aviv strategic plan states that the city must preserve its status as Israel’s financial capital. This principle is part of the city’s vision of the future which sees it as a “metropolitan and national financial center”.
Sde Dov district serves as the last open land division within the bounds of the historical city, and its planning vision stems from two sources. The first source is identifying the enormous advantages of its unique location, at the junction of the city’s two important landscape axes (the Yarkon Park and the beach), which attract large amounts of recreational and leisure activities, as well as its location as a continuation of the existing urban fabric to the south. The second source for the vision stems from the challenges of long-term planning for high densities.
The proposed construction combines low-rise dense building with high-rise towers while maintaining the central function of the street as the plan’s heart, alongside a coastal park which begins at the Tel Baruch beach and ends at the Reading Marina. The Marina is planned to grow and acts as an important addition to the field of sailing in the country.
The district’s planning is accompanied by environmental and sustainability consultants who strive to create an urban fabric that can compete with the most advanced cities in the world in this field today. Throughout the different planning stages, various examinations have been conducted in order to create a district which strives to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, promote greater energy use efficiency, integrate transit-oriented development principles, and more
