TEAM KIRYAT GAT 2025 MICHAEL KAPLAN STEPHEN KENNEDY JARED PRESS CHRIS RHIE NEXCITY: REFIGURED URBANISM FOR THE NEW CENTURY The Net Positive City SYSTEMS ANALYSIS Current Building Footprint Current Vacant Spaces Current Road Network Current Building Use The size and density of buildings illustrates a trend of indus- try. Older industrial uses tend to consist of small building footprints in dense areas, while newer uses exist in larger building footprints further away from the city. Vacant space is prevalent throughout the industrial zone. There exist opportunities for infill development as well as expansion into agricultural lands for transitional uses and productive buffers. There is currently only one connection across the rail- road tracks that links the industrial zone with the core of Kiryat Gat. Beyond this, there are two additional entry/exit roads off of Route 35 to the northeast. There are also few through roads in the zone, making pedestrian circulation almost non-existent. Vacant lands to the east have been earmarked for future industrial use, for which a grid-like road network has been proposed. The history of expansion in the industrial zone can be traced by its use. The oldest industrial facilities exist to the northwest, adjacent to the train tracks. These buildings are densely situated and house light industry, such as ware- houses and auto repair shops. To the southeast, there is a concentration of large footprint buildings that house heavy industrial manufacturing, including aluminum and steel mills. On the outskirts of the zone are the newest plants, consisting of high-tech manufacturing campuses for compa- nies such as Intel, Micron, and HP.

Commuter Network Resource Network Road & Pedestrian Network Shipping Network Integrating rail, bus and pedestrian networks creates more efficient circulation patterns while increasing the viability of a central commercial corridor that connects to the train sta- tion and the central core of Kiryat Gat. A closed-loop industrial system reuses by-products from one industry as the inputs for an- other, creating more efficient and sustainable manufacturing. Future road and pedestrian networks from Kiryat Gat to the industrial zone improve circulation, link commuters to the central core, and increase connections throughout the city. Most final manufacturing products are shipped via the state highway network. Most Kiryat Gat products are routed through Route 6 with a secondary system along Highway 35 to the port of Ashdod.

Kiryat Gat’s industrial area was developed to accommodate the industry of the moment: textiles, steel, high technology. What will tomorrow bring? Environmental and economic conditions are changing faster than ever. Here’s how the city could position itself at the forefront.
