Everything about Tel Aviv Israel totally explained
Districts
Tel Aviv is made up of nine districts that have formed naturally over the city's short history. The most notable of these is Jaffa, the ancient port city out of which Tel Aviv grew. This area is traditionally made up demographically of a greater percentage of Arabs, but recent
gentrification is replacing them with a young professional population. Similar processes are occurring in nearby
Neve Tzedek, the original Jewish neighborhood outside of Jaffa.
Ramat Aviv, a neighborhood in the northern part of the city largely made up of luxury apartments and including the Tel Aviv University, is currently undergoing extensive expansion and is set to absorb the beachfront property of Sde Dov Airport after its decommissioning. This will likely take several years while expansion north of the airport makes up the majority of the city's growth.
Historically, there has been a demographic split between the
Ashkenazi and
Europeans north of the city, including the neighborhood of Ramat Aviv, and the southern, more
Sephardi and
Mizrahi neighborhoods including Neve Tzedek and
Florentin. Three thousand buildings were created in this style between 1931 and 1939 alone. In recent years, Tel Aviv has become a hub of modern
high-rise architecture due to the soaring price of real-estate in the city. The
Shalom Meir Tower, Israel's first skyscraper, was built in Tel Aviv in 1965 and remained the country's tallest building until 1999. The
Azrieli Center, composed of three buildings— one square, one triangular, and one circular—usurped that title. Since 2001, Israel's tallest building is the
City Gate Tower, which is located in the neighboring city of
Ramat Gan, although the country's tallest wholly residential building, the
Neve Tzedek Tower, is in Tel Aviv. New neighborhoods such as the
Park Tzameret are being constructed to house luxury apartment towers including
YOO Tel Aviv towers designed by
Philippe Starck, while zones such as
The southern Kirya are being developed with office towers. Other recent additions to Tel Aviv's skyline are the
1 Rothschild Tower,
Be'eri Nahardea Tower and
First International Bank Tower.
