The project offers re-examination of the neglected and peripheral areas to the center of Netanya urban system, areas that are far from the urban consciousness which have the potential to benefit the entire city.
Dora neighborhood was set up at the edge of Netanya on the early '50s, became over the years one of the slum regions of Netanya, as the city expanded over the years and developed around her without creating any urban connections with the neighborhood. Dora neighborhood is not maintaining urban continuity with the city center on the north and disconnected from the city expansion to the east, as between them located the city stadium, trapped between highway 2 and the railway line which dividing the city to east and west.
The aim of the project is a fulfillment of the potential in this area while providing a real opportunity for rehabilitation of the neighborhood resulting from intervention and integration in the urban structure.
The project offers a new urban development, a strong urban route connecting the east and west of the city. The new development will be done through regulation of urban traffic resulting from tension exists between strong urban nodes, combining Dora neighborhood as the central core of the new route that will bring change to the entire area. In addition, through development of neglected and deteriorated urban resources and opportunities the project offers linear green sequence in the form of urban park that crossing the city from east to west, from the Sergeant's forest in the east to the Winter Pond on the west. The parks, together with the new urban route are creating an urban continuity from east to west, an action that will bring back Netanya to her eastern neighborhoods as a coast city.
