Mayor Ron Huldai: Tel Aviv, the City of the Future
Monday, November 2
11:30 AM EST
A virtual series
Free
For 21 years as mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai has ignored or defied the Israeli government to shape his city into a progressive, global metropolis — and dragged much of the country along behind him. He rein in developers to create low-cost housing, established bike lanes, extended services to undocumented asylum seekers, put the annual gay pride on the municipal map and began Shabbat bus service.
Discover how the mayor moved beyond politics to pump dynamism into his city.
