Affordable housing in Tel Aviv?

The Tel Aviv Municipality approved a NIS 54 million budget for the construction of affordable housing in the Shapira neighborhood, a disadvantaged area in south Tel Aviv. The city decided to expedite the project's construction in light of last summers protest. The project is slated to be built on a four-dunam (1-acre) plot of municipal land and consists of 69 apartments which are to be built in three buildings arranged around a yard. Each building consists of three and four room apartments, which will be about 80 square meters.
