The District Committee for Planning and Construction in Yerushalayim, headed by Shira Talmei-Babai, has decided to advance the plan for the establishment of a new residential neighborhood in the center of Yerushalayim – Givat Hashaked.
Arutz Sheva reports that the neighborhood would be near the light rail and close to the Katmonim neighborhood, the Malha employment area and Emek Refaim Park. The program includes 700 housing units, 210 of the total housing units in the program will be allocated for long-term rental, commercial and employment areas.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked pushed for the neighborhood’s approval despite the strong objections of the American government.
