    • Abstract:
      JERUSALEM - IF ALL GOES as planned, the aging 1960s-era apartment building where Yael Rockoff lives in Jerusalem with her husband and two young sons will be nearly demolished and rebuilt to current construction standards. In 2018, the government approved plans to add 13,133 new apartment units in these schemes, up from 843 new apartment units approved in 2010, according to Israel's office for urban renewal. Poni-Kronish says Jerusalem prefers Evacuate and Build projects because, unlike Tama 38, they require rezoning approval from the municipality. [Extracted from the article]
