There is  always a spatial aspect to social justice, and it is not possible to deal with social injustice, without dealing with the spatial component" (Peter Marcuse in  Fenster, 2012).

Today, social aspects have virtually no place in the process of urban renewal. The state takes an approach of a lack of intervention, and economic considerations are the process engine, without taking into account social and environmental parameters.

The project offers an urban densification and thickening which takes into account social aspects, as well as economic considerations.

As a case study I have chosen Katmonim 'Het' – 'tet'   in Jerusalem, whose population is characterized by low socioeconomic status and a poor physical condition.  I've set a limit of 320% for construction, allowing usually financial feasibility, as well as building in a human scale.

I've set up a number of social causes that I would like to implement in the new plan through: the creation of a diverse range of apartments, a mixture of uses, and rich public spaces connecting the different parts of the neighborhood. These conditions may be a fertile ground for the growth of a diverse and lively community.
