KIRYAT GAT 2025 REIMAGINING INDUSTRIAL URBANISM KIRYAT GAT, ISRAEL
SITE PLAN
INDUSTRIAL REMIX: RETHINKING THE INDUSTRIAL CAMPUS
Home to tech firms such as Intel and HP, the industrial core is central to Kiryat Gat’s future growth. Currently, the area consists of isolated campuses and few publicly accessible amenities. The proposal envisions a future Kiryat Gat where housing, retail, and research facilities are introduced into industrial settings, made possible by cleaner manufacturing processes, in order to create innovation clusters with a high degree of knowledge spillover. Kiryat Gat has a chance to challenge the convention of single-use industrial zones by establishing a new model for industrial towns by becoming the first to co-locate housing, clean manufacturing, and R&D.
