Jerusalem tower plans have population divided
Jerusalem Day stats reveal massive push for urban renewal, with construction in some areas reaching 40 stories, and in other areas reaching a limit of 10 stories.
Assessment

The data released on Jerusalem Day highlights a city planning for growth in some areas while preserving low rise density in others. The question is whether this uneven approach will satisfy housing demand or deepen existing divides.
