- 06Construction must preserve the architectural character of Tel Aviv's "White City," which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- 07New developments on lots over 700 square meters must allocate space for public needs like daycare and community facilities.
- 08The plan integrates with public transport infrastructure, including existing and future light rail and metro lines.
Spanning about 1,700 dunams, the plan covers the area between Bograshov and Shaul Hamelech streets to the north, Yitzhak Elhanan to the south, Hayarkon to the west, and Menachem Begin and Shprintzak streets to the east. This initiative complements previously approved plans for districts 3 and 4, allowing for independent renewal of existing buildings through additions or demolition and reconstruction.
Building rights will range from 5.5 to 7.5 stories depending on the area. Because a significant portion of the plan falls within the "White City," a UNESCO World Heritage site, construction must respect and preserve the area's architectural heritage. Additionally, new developments on lots over 700 square meters must allocate public spaces for daycare, kindergartens, and community facilities, while integrating with existing and future public transport like light rail and metro lines.
