Tel Aviv – Yafo: Historia y Actualidad
Tel Aviv, la primera ciudad hebrea y centro económico, tecnológico y cultural de Israel, nació de las antiguas raíces de la ciudad adyacente de Jaffa. Los históricos callejones estrechos de la bíblica ciudad portuaria se sobrepoblaron a finales del siglo XIX, lo que llevó al desarrollo de Tel Aviv tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día. Ambas ciudades se han transformado de forma radical a lo largo de la historia, ya que las dunas de arena de Tel Aviv prosperaron hasta transformarse en una animada metrópolis mundial y la antigua ciudad de Jaffa se convirtió en un crisol cultural muy diverso con una composición demográfica única. Desde la histórica Casa del Fondo Nacional Judío hasta el oasis urbano de Yarkon Park, el Fondo Nacional Judío se dedica a conservar el rico patrimonio de la ciudad y a crear un futuro más verde para todos sus residentes y visitantes.
