The First Decade of the Development of Tel Aviv Neighborhoods across the Yarkon, 1947-1958
Keywords:
Tel Aviv, Ever Ha’Yarkon Neighborhoods, Urban ArchitectureAbstract
The declaration of the State of Israel brought the city of Tel Aviv to a turning point. Since the late 1940s the landscape of Ever Ha’Yarkon has started to change. One neighborhood after the other was established in that environment, which was characterized as a rural area during the British Mandate era. These neighborhoods were built with various characteristics for different populations. Examination of the first years of these neighborhoods shows two types of urban development in the region. The first is regional – the existence of fundamental differences between the development of the eastern and western parts of the Ever Ha’Yarkon. The second relates to the types of building constructions, which can be divided into public construction, private construction, and the formation of poverty areas. This article deals with the first decade of the development of Ever Ha’Yarkon neighborhoods, the circumstances of their founding, their regional development, their population, and the urban relations between them and the city and between the neighborhoods themselves. This analysis helps understand the process in which a third of the area of Tel Aviv-Jaffa today changed from a rural periphery to an urban space.
