Gilo, perched on Jerusalem’s southern hills, is undergoing a profound transformation — a renewal of its public realm through connection, accessibility, and community. The project maps, redefines, and expands the neighborhood’s open spaces into a coherent system of movement and encounter. Amid steep gradients and fragmented edges, new pedestrian paths stitch together the everyday fabric — linking courtyards, schools, and parks into a continuous urban experience. What once divided now unites; the topography itself becomes a stage for collective life.

Beyond design, the plan proposes a long-term strategy for the management and growth of Gilo’s public landscape — ensuring that change is not a moment but a continuum. It is a vision of Jerusalem renewed from within: resilient, walkable, and deeply human.
