The Neve Sharet Masterplan sets the guidelines for urban renewal for this North Tel Aviv area undergoing wide gentrification. The neighborhood is situated next to the Atidim high tech park and its bus terminal serving the majority of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area - with plans for future expansion, including a station for Tel Aviv Light Rail's Green and Yellow Line. The Masterplan establishes an urban mechanism allowing the neighborhood to expand steadily in the coming years. Instead of buildings, HQ Architects designed blocks acting as frames for neighborhoods to grow, identified roads that needed to open and connect to their surroundings, created interconnected green areas providing a ‘green network’ and created commercial high-street areas and public buildings as well as underground parking spaces.
The Masterplan’s success is based on its fast realization – just 5 years after its approval, establishing the neighborhood’s evident radical change. Nowadays, the neighborhood features a very clear structure and easy to navigate roads and green areas’ network as it continues to set guidelines for future expansion.
