In the southern reaches of Tel Aviv, the century-old commercial district of Florentin stands at a crossroads familiar to cities across the world: how does a place grow without consuming the very qualities that made it worth growing into? The municipality has answered with a preservation plan that protects not individual monuments but the connective tissue between buildings—the storefronts, balconies, and narrow streets that together form a living urban character. It is an experiment in writing rules wise enough to allow change while holding memory intact.
