"In 2019, the Eilat downtown airport was closed and left residents with a vast space that has the potential to connect ""tourist Eilat"" and ""local Eilat,"" after years of geographic and mental segregation. The project seeks to create an urban space that unites the town's two segments while merging the tourist and local experiences and fulfilling Eilat's potential as an international beach town. This connection point will include a town square containing culture, recreation, entertainment, and commerce."
