In my final project, I aim to establish a new maritime vision and demonstrate it through strategic planning for the Haifa area, integrating it into a sustainable network and maritime transport infrastructure. In the project, I propose methods for conscious and responsible management, integrating Haifa into a sustainable and ecological network of wide, environmentally friendly travel hubs located in strategic locations near major ports in villages and cities in Israel and around the world. The planning strategy stems from a vision that aims to use the sea as a "ground" for building and developing living environments as a solution to the land shortage in densely populated coastal areas. My critique is directed at the current focus on land-based transportation infrastructures alone, while ignoring the immense potential of the sea as an alternative transportation infrastructure. Whereas land transportation causes heavy congestion, air pollution, and increased land consumption, maritime transportation offers a sustainable solution that utilizes an existing resource without harming the land environment. Additionally, I criticize the lack of attention to the integration between maritime transportation and existing infrastructures, such as railways and public buildings, which could improve accessibility and create a holistic transportation system. The project will focus on developing a transportation hub at the Haifa Port that integrates land-based transportation with a maritime hovercraft infrastructure. In addition to the transportation hub, the program will include a business and entrepreneurship center, a network of galleries, and maritime museums.
