גן העיר

Gan Ha'Ir in Tel Aviv, located between Ibn Gabirol Street and Ben Gurion Boulevard, near the Tel Aviv City Hall and Rabin Square, is a complex that includes a commercial center, a luxury residential tower, and a public garden. Its strategic position at a key crossroads connecting different parts of the city provides it with a significant advantage: it has the potential to attract a diverse range of people from various social groups. In the past, the complex, with its multiple functions, served as a vibrant public center on a neighborhood, citywide, and even metropolitan scale. However, over time, the complex has lost its centrality, and its ability to draw diverse audiences has diminished. This project proposes a reevaluation of the complex. Through several planning interventions, it seeks to reestablish Gan Ha'Ir as a dynamic public space, transforming it from a boundary into a connective gathering place.
