Dr. Nir Mualam was invited to present his study, on vertical allocations, before the Israeli Parliament. Together with Dr. Eyal Salinger, Dr. Mualam tried to convince government to adapt and improve the newly proposed bill which enables local governments to vertically expropriate floors in high-rise private development. Sky city is the future, Mualam argued, but it should be based on laws which do not delimit local governments’ powers. The Parliamentary Committee for Internal Affairs and the Environment also heard opinion from local government representatives, developers, the Ministry of Finance and Justice.
