In Transit to Nowhere

Neve Sha'anan

I did find an interesting article in Ha’aretz by Esther Zandberg about the Neve-Sha’anan neighborhood: “In transit to nowhere”.
Neve Sha’anan is the neighborhood between the old- and new Tel Aviv busstation and crowded today with foreign workers. Neve Sha’anan Street was once know as the shoe-shop street, because of the hundreds of small shoe-shops.
Esther Zandberg writes: “…If we planners had understood that Neve Sha’anan was an inseparable part of the city and not a transit point, perhaps we would have know how to answer the real needs of a neighborhood and people who live there”.
