Kiryat Gat city boundary
Water in Kiryat Gat flows from the southeast to the northwest. Two major subwatershed boundaries determine the flow of the city’s primary stream. One runs across the city’s northern boundary, while another runs north-south in the center of the city, separating the residential area to the east from the industrial area to the west.
Large buffer zones appear in the southeast and northwest corners of Kiryat Gat, where the primary stream enters and leaves the city. Smaller buffers in the center of the city provide opportunities for daylighting. To the north and southwest, narrow wooded buffers wind through agricultural land.

PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED
These superblocks feature a diverse collection of buildings that span a wide range of bulk, height, orientation and use. Highly adaptable, they have many community spaces. Proximity to amenities and quiet internal streets make them effective as self-contained neighborhoods.

STATIC LABOR POOL
This neighborhood is comprised of mid-rise apartment buildings that line the perimeter of each block. The interior spaces encourage social activity, and amenities are located within walking distance. Private automobiles are lightly used.

Consisting mostly of detached single-family houses, this is a relatively inefficient urban form. The neighborhoods are car-oriented, lacking pedestrian amenities. Individual homes also require separate energy-consuming equipment, which has lower system efficiency.

This is the most energy-intensive form of development. High-rise construction requires vast amounts of energy for excavation and manufacturing of building materials. The height and spacing of the towers necessitate elevators and encourage a car-oriented lifestyle.
Although these buildings have been slated for demolition, they represent a relatively efficient form. The stacked flats are simple to construct, and their east-west orientation is ideal for solar photovoltaics. The ground floor and interstitial spaces are used for automobile parking and community space.
