Geddes Plan (Tel Aviv)
The Geddes Plan for Tel Aviv was the first master plan for the city of Tel Aviv. It was created by the Scottish town planner Patrick Geddes between the years 1925–1929.
History
The Geddes Plan was an extension to the north of the first neighborhoods of the city (now in the southern part adjacent to the Jaffa) reaching to the Yarkon River.
The plan refers to the area known today as the "Old North," where the eastern boundary of the plan is Ibn Gabirol Street and the western boundary is the Mediterranean Sea. Patrick Geddes envisioned public gardens surrounded by residential blocks and small streets, with main roads crossing the city from east to west and south to north.
