City Plate - Tel Aviv

Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $50.00

Part of our seventh series of City Plates. The theme of this collection is "Creative Capitals." Rio de Janeiro, Austin, Copenhagen, and Tel Aviv are all making a name for themselves as meccas of innovation in the arts and sciences. Each is renowned for creative expression and experimentation in the forms of dance, music, film, cuisine and technology. As culture and creativity become recognized as driving forces in this global economy, how will this inform future urban agendas?

Tel Aviv was originally planned as a garden city with an inclusive urban plan. Intended for the deluge of immigrants pouring into the city after Israel’s founding, the 1930s found an influx of German-Jewish architects fleeing Europe and transforming Tel Aviv into "The White City.” Now, Tel Aviv includes the largest concentration of Bauhaus-style architecture in the world and is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In more recent years the city has experienced another visible urban evolution due to a flourishing technology sector and international partnerships.
