Israel’s urban communities face demographic and environmental changes, leading to depopulation and neglect of many New Towns due to their inflexibility. The Israeli government has policies like 'demolition and redevelopment' and “densification and redevelopment' to address these issues, aiming for growth. However, these strategies have limitations, especially in neighborhoods with low-income families and land values that don't attract developers. This project aims to establish a research partnership between LCUD at Tel-Aviv University and MIT to design sustainable residential communities in Israel by 2025. Goals include developing research and urban design education frameworks, improving sustainable community practices, designing near-zero energy, carbon-neutral, ecologically responsive housing using information technology, and creating new economic and technological applications for sustainable housing.
