The National Council for Planning and Construction decided to advance the statutory plan to change the face of Haifa Bay
The plan will be promoted on the basis of the planning administration alternative that was presented to the committee of CEOs that balances between the addition of residences and the addition of employment in order to leave the Bay Area as an employment anchor for the metropolitan area.
The National Planning and Construction Council, chaired by the Chairman of the National Planning Headquarters, Shlomi Heisler, unanimously decided today (Tuesday, 10/5/22) to order the preparation of a national outline plan for Haifa Bay (TMA 75).
The decision to promote the program is in accordance with the recommendations of the inter-ministerial CEOs Committee which was appointed to deal with the issue and submitted its recommendations in June 2021, and further to the government's decision regarding a strategy for the development and promotion of Haifa Bay dated 6/3/22.
The plan, which will be promoted in cooperation with the Planning Administration and the Israel Lands Authority, is on the area located in the heart of the Haifa metropolis and is a potential for a significant strengthening of the cities in Haifa Bay and the entire metropolis. This is a very complex project that requires an overall and integrated vision, examination of alternatives and providing a solution to the location of the variety of national infrastructures currently found in the Gulf, including infrastructures needed for the functioning of the energy economy.
The new plan will form the basis for a gradual change in the heart of the metropolis and its goal is to improve the quality of life and strengthen the urbanity in the Haifa Bay through the conversion of the refining industry and its associated factories to diverse employment nearby and in cooperation with higher education institutions in Haifa, which is combined with a significant addition of housing units in the heart of the metropolis.
The preparation of the TMA constitutes the required planning framework based on the principles outlined in the government decision and in the report of the recommendations of the inter-ministerial CEOs' Committee in which a government strategy was formulated, principles of action for the development and promotion of Haifa Bay and dealing with hazards and pollution existing in the bay which do not allow for urban and metropolitan development in sustainable
The TMA will deal, among other things, with the following topics: the creation of a continuous urban tissue between the Kiryat and the city of Haifa, economic strengthening of the city of Haifa and the Haifa metropolis, the development of a metropolitan park based on the streams of the area, the connection of the city to the sea and the port and the removal of nuisances and the improvement of the environment.
Director General of the Planning Administration, Dalit Zilber:
The decision made today is an important step towards changing the face of Haifa Bay and the northern metropolis of the country. This is a procedure that will lead to urbanism and strengthen the region's status as an undisputed center and will connect the Kiryat and Haifa into a unified center. The plan will be promoted on the basis of the planning administration alternative that was presented to the committee of CEOs that balances between the addition of residences and the addition of employment in order to leave the Bay Area as an employment anchor for the metropolitan area.
Director of the Israel Land Authority, Yaakov Quint: "I welcome the approval of the plan, which is another milestone in changing the face of Haifa Bay and adapting it to the needs of the cities and their residents and the new era while reducing environmental risks and creating a new urban fabric that combines residences and employment."
At the energy conference today, the CEO of Zan announced that they are preparing "to supply the needs of the economy according to the government's requirement" until 2040.
That is, if you think that within a few years the refineries and petrochemical industries will be removed from the Gulf, keep dreaming.
In 2040 they will extend the evacuation deadline by 20 light years.. such a crisis.. another crisis...
In short: everything is in a drawer, and the dreams are sold to the public as simulations such as the Bitcoin city of the ruler of El Salvador - an imaginary script with no basis in reality
Want a futuristic Haifa Bay? Start working on an international airport, you bunch of lousy politicians
She doesn't know how to handle pigs
that you fly already from the municipality.
I liked that it was written "removal of nuisances", is it possible to shoot indiscriminately even at humans, they answer, dilution?
Words words without any meaning lies and promises that have no substance behind them. Instead of saying unequivocally when to dismantle and eliminate the petrochemical complex and when to finally eliminate the refineries for clean air that you can breathe without getting lung diseases and cancer
I understand that energy independence is not at the forefront of your mind, but would it please the scholars to explain to the public that the ships that arrive at the port of Haifa, and in particular the giant tankers that will arrive with fuel and refined diesel, are no less polluting, and also that they will still need tank farms near the port to store all this amount because there will be no more refineries So they will have to enlarge the existing farm.
There is no chance that the country will give up its independent ability to produce fuel and polymer products. and better this way
I suppose Mrs. Kalish will step in to delay.
Her absence is distressing. Congratulations on the approval to establish an outline plan
Successfully !
We also want an outlet like in a huge sand, beautiful and the cheapest available with sellers from the Far East!
Traveller's Prayer. Successfully. Good Morning
Most programs do not see the forest. Finally we will stand before a bush.
Blah blah blah..the main thing is the plans..come on, who are you working for? In another 50 years, refineries will not move from here
When will the change happen? There are no due dates. Not for removing the pollutants. Not for the purification of the land. Not for stopping the invasion of the city of ants into Kishon Park and at his expense.
Who do you work for? In 40 years we will open this plan and find that the drawers in which it was buried contain more and more plans and statements.
The public in Haifa is indifferent, therefore there is no pressure on the government ministries to carry out the plan.
They also said that they would build an alternative ammonia plant in the south so that there would be no ammonia production through the port of Haifa, so they did not build anything and all ammonia imports are through the port of Haifa, just as dangerous and just as polluting.
For some reason it seems to you that without pressure nothing is promoted. So push yourself.
Part of the master plan is determining the schedule. You don't mean to set a date before working on the master plan
Bentzelha to Haifa Bay.
