Transforming Tel Aviv's Back Yard into a Front Door.
The project reimagines one of Tel Aviv’s busiest transportation and employment zones, long perceived as the city’s “back yard,” into a welcoming and vibrant urban gateway. It introduces a continuous network of pedestrian and soft-mobility routes that stitch together fragmented edges and create new public spaces for movement, encounter, and leisure. Drawing inspiration from the historic Geddes Plan, the design adapts Tel Aviv’s urban grid into a contemporary green infrastructure, softening the harsh boundaries of highways and transforming them into a humane and accessible urban landscape.
This project was developed in collaboration with architect Dafna Galeen.
