The Jerusalem Municipality has selected German design firm Topotek 1 to create a public space in a 2-sq-kilometer area at the western entrance to the city as part of a planned commercial development expansion and new transport hub—set to become the city's largest-ever urban upgrade.
The space will be located between the city’s international convention center now being expanded and the HaUma railway station—the terminus of the high-speed train between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem that is set to open in 2018, and another within Jerusalem.
