The Globes 2013 Israel Real Estate Conference

 

The Globes Real Estate Summit will set the agenda for a national housing policy for Israel. A long-term national housing policy,
 which will stay in place even during changes in government, characterizes every Western country.
The time has come for Israel to have a clear and unequivocal national housing policy. Such a policy will include
 the establishment of a national authority for urban renewal and affordable housing, which will create a differential policy
 for a supply of new housing for an extended period, and will adjust the housing supply to the needs and demands
of the country's diverse population.
Israel also needs a structural reform in planning which can implemented beyond the slogan of the "balcony reform,
 with planning at the national level which will maintain strategic interests alongside specific planning
at the local level for municipalities and neighborhoods.
The Globes Real Estate Summit will present ways to solve Israel's housin shortage, such as granting property rights
on a national scale and a real options for affordable housing and urban renewal in poor neighborhoods.

The conference will take place at the David InterContinental hotel in Tel Aviv
