Rehovot city center- urban renewal Master Plan

Client: The Ministry of Construction and Housing
Project Initiation: 2015
Location: Central Rehovot
Project Area: 3,200 dunam
Status: Planning
Program: 25,000 residential units
Planning Team: Ari Cohen, Miriam Brody Choueka, Ella Zilberfarb-Ben Ezra, Amir Elisha, Tal Diller-Orenstein

The Rehovot “City Center” currently contains 17,000 units in varying patterns of construction, mix of uses and densities. Since Rehovot’s development trends indicate that significant centers will develop in the western and eastern parts of the city in the coming years, the program proposes harnessing this developmental momentum around the city by creating a municipal and metropolitan level system of connections. A significant element in the design is the proposed strengthening of Herzl Street, referring to the “competition” for the right of way between vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit lines in a crowded urban environment. The program proposes a total nominal addition of 8,000 housing units, which will be distributed between the various compounds in accordance with their respective carrying capacities
