I had mentioned and showed some models of the ancient Jerusalem model in the Israel museum. Well there is in fact an enormous model in the basement of the city hall building which is of the new city and growth. it is constantly worked on and continues to add new projects and changed renovations. it shows everything from the old city to the new Calatrava bridge, as well as the different colonies such as German, Russian, American, and the new business districts with growing buildings and higher limits.
It was a quick introduction to the growth and limits of current day Jerusalem. As well as a PowerPoint by the city architect himself on the different districts and phases of the city. We were allowed to go into the city hall meeting room and
through which we exited out onto a nice terrace area of the building which gave extraordinary views of the city.
