The Kiryat Malachi Municipality is advancing urban renewal projects and is urging apartment owners to seek professional advice before signing any documents or appointing a lawyer. This initiative is part of a broader public awareness campaign titled "Don't Sign Before Consulting!" aimed at ensuring residents understand their rights and make informed decisions.
To further this effort, a professional seminar was held this week, attended by Mayor Eliyahu (Lalo) Zohar, city council members, department heads, and municipal employees. The seminar focused on developing a joint work plan for urban renewal, emphasizing that these projects impact entire neighborhoods, including infrastructure, public institutions, and quality of life, not just building demolition and construction.
During the seminar, City Engineer Dr. Elisheva Liyosh and Director of the Urban Renewal Administration, Adv. Shneur Ketash, presented the city's ongoing renewal projects. Straight Light, a company involved in urban renewal, presented a case study from the Chabad complex, detailing how they assisted residents in organizing and forming a representative committee, thereby strengthening their involvement in the renewal process.
The seminar marks the beginning of a comprehensive professional initiative by the Urban Renewal Administration to create a coordinated work plan across all city departments. This plan will holistically assess renewal projects, considering infrastructure, transportation, education, public facilities, and community needs, with the goal of streamlining processes and providing clarity for both residents and developers.
