URBAN THINKERS CAMPUS: Livable Neighborhoods in the Metropolis - The Garden City in the 21st Century


This two-day conference, part of the global UN-Habitat Urban Thinkers Campus, will be held in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It aims to explore landscape heritage conservation principles in urban and metropolitan settings. Organized jointly by Liebling Haus, the Architecture School of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and the Ministry of Construction and Housing, the event will highlight cultural and natural heritage as key elements in sustainable public space development, emphasizing their impact on community wellbeing and environmental health.


Like many nations, Israel faces population growth challenges, necessitating innovative housing solutions, urban density, and renewal. In the face of these needs, guidelines for preserving and developing open spaces in metropolitan and residential areas must be established urgently. The conference will focus on the heritage of garden cities, particularly the Geddes master plan for Tel Aviv and the Kaufman Garden Suburbs in Jeruslaem. Both plans connect human activity with nature in urban environments, and offer vital strategies for addressing climate change challenges in modern cities. Participants will examine conceptual, design and infrastructural approaches to create high-quality green spaces in Israeli urban landscapes.


The complete program >> Day 2 | Wednesday, 13/11/2024, 09:30-18:30, Bezalel, Jerusalem


Jerusalem’s garden neighbourhoods, which were planned by Kaufmann and endorsed by the British regime, left a mark on the city's fabric outside the walls. We will explore the concept of landscape heritage values in a 21st-century metropolis through the lens of My Neighborhood principles. This exploration will involve studying Geddes's contribution to the planning of Jerusalem and in broader contexts, both local and international. We will also hold a meeting of the Metropolitan Heritage Forum as the opening event of Bezalel's National Urban Lab, with the support of the Ministry of Housing.


The conference is a collaboration between Liebling Haus, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and the Ministry of Construction and Housing. It is part of UN Habitat's Urban Thinkers Campus events to promote sustainable environmental and social settlement.
