TAMA 70
Israeli national outline plan for urban densification through floor additions and selective rebuilds. Part of the framework succeeding TAMA 38.
TAMA 70's policy logic is consistent with the broader Israeli urban-planning shift away from greenfield expansion and toward densification of existing residential neighborhoods. Where TAMA 38 was anchored in earthquake reinforcement — with floor additions granted as the developer incentive — TAMA 70 is structured directly around the densification objective, with statutory pathways for floor additions, building extensions, and combined rebuild scenarios.
For Israeli real-estate developers, TAMA 70 sits inside a planning stack that also includes Pinui-Binui (demolish-and-rebuild on a larger footprint) and standard urban-renewal frameworks administered at the municipal and Ministry of Construction and Housing level. Specific scope, eligibility, and incentive parameters are subject to evolving regulation; developers should reference current planning-authority publications when sizing a specific project.
