During the course of the specialisation in urban and regional planning, as part of the “strategic planning” practical course, a thematic analysis of the haredi neighbourhood of Shmuel Hanavi, in Jerusalem was carried out. Upon the outcome of the analyses, several projects were consolidated with the aim to bring strategic improvements to the residents of the low-income neighbourhood.

The thematic analysis focused on walkability and public space safety whilst the project aimed at enabling at-risk youth and providing them with a space enhancing their sense of belonging.
