Abstract

The spatial aspects of high-rise buildings in the Tel-Aviv metropolitan region are examined, using empirical data gathered through a field survey. A multinomial logit model is employed to test hypotheses concerning the cyclic model of metropolitan region development. The results support empirical evidence of the spatial dispersal of high-rise buildings, indicating an initial process of reconcentration in the Tel-Aviv metropolitan pattern. The study concludes that intensive high-rise building is expected to develop extensively in the future, particularly in the core and inner-ring areas. The dispersal of this construction indicates a classic negative gradient pattern, moving from the core area towards the outskirts of the metropolitan region. In contrast, the classic pattern between centre and fringes does not hold within the built-up area of the metropolitan region.
