"In 2006, Ashkelon enters the line of fire and changes its character – or does it? The main problem in the planning reference to spaces under missile attacks is the failure to diagnose that the urban space in towns like Ashkelon cannot be planned in the same way ""normal"" cities are. For preliminary research, I examined various city plans from across Israel and other countries where daily life must exist under extreme conditions. My conclusion was that these conflict cities require a new approach to planning. This is a visionary project which aspires to provide normal daily life to the town, regardless of the frequent periods of escalation, out of the understanding that we must adopt a new method of urban planning that provides a sense of safety, security, and the option for residents of the conflict area to live their lives optimally. The thought should no longer involve protected home spaces, but protected urban spaces, that would allow residents to have a continuous routine."
