Massive construction in city centers was supposed to pay off financially for all sides: the old and new residents; the developers; the municipalities; and the government, which is trying to increase the housing supply. So why is there so little construction in the cities?
The participants in the Thinking Inside the Box session at the “Globes” Real Estate Summit-Israel Real Estate and Infrastructures Conference in collaboration with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank (TASE:MZTF), will discuss the barriers blocking the building boom in city centers. The session will also mark the tenth anniversary of the National Outline Plan 38, which grants building rights for old buildings retrofitted against earthquakes, summarizes the program, its status, and offers conclusions and trends. The results of the of the “Globes” real estate survey will also be revealed.
The session participants will be BDO Ziv Haft head of the Real Estate Cluster Dan Atias; Africa 38 Ltd. CEO Noam Benyamini, Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Real Estate Sector director Pnina Ella; Ra’anana Deputy Mayor and planning and construction subcommittee chairman Adv.
