National-Level Planning in Israel: Walking the Tightrope between Government Control and Privatisation
This chapter examines national-level planning in Israel. It begins with an introduction to Israel's geographic and demographic statistics and its national urban and regional policies, and then moves to the constitutional and institutional setting for policy-making by the local and the central government. The chapter also identifies the agencies that are involved in comprehensive planning and national-level sectoral planning, which is followed by a detailed presentation of Israel's land-use planning system and national statutory plans. Finally, it discusses the future of national-level planning in Israel as it undergoes the general trends of centralisation, decentralisation, and privatisation.
Keywords: national-level planning, Israel, policy-making, sectoral planning, land-use planning, statutory plans, centralisation, decentralisation, privatisation
