Decentralized Renewable Energy and Socioeconomic Disparities
Decentralized renewable energy (DRE) has emerged as a key tool for global energy transition and emissions reduction. While DRE has the potential to democratize energy production, evidence suggests it may cause unequal benefit distribution across population groups. This study provides the first comprehensive empirical analysis of DRE distribution patterns across all Israeli municipalities, examining policy implications for equitable energy transit…

Public Housing in Israel
This paper analyzes and explains the evolution of public housing in Israel. Compared to other countries, Israel’s public housing has undergone massive change throughout the last few decades, and is therefore an interesting case study. In the 1950s and 1960s, public housing made up 60% of the state’s total housing stock, and most of the population was eligible. Today, however, public housing is marginal in scope and earmarked for only 1.9% of the …
A tale of two neighborhoods
Centralization, neoliberalism, and housing policy central–local government relations and residential development in Israel
In recent decades, many countries have experienced decentralization and neoliberal processes. The literature usually refers to decentralization as an outcome of growing neoliberalism, but are these two processes analytically connected? This study answers the question by examining the relationship between central and local government in Israel in the context of housing policy. It focuses on a housing policy called Heskem Gag (“umbrella agreement”)…
Public Housing Matters
During the past decade, many countries have returned to public housing to meet the demand for affordable housing. Using the Esping-Anderson typology, this study examines how differences in a country’s political economic regime influence the implementation and outcomes of public housing policies over time and the extent to which and how the differences change over time. The analysis focuses on Sweden, the United States, and Israel, representing th…
To capitalise or not to capitalise? Public agencies versus urban residents
In recent decades, urban residents in various countries have faced the dilemma of whether to accept offers, made by public authorities’ agencies, to increase their property rights in the housing units in which they live or to maintain their existing status and pay higher annual fees. These offers, involving a broad range of housing ownership policies, have often met with indifference or only marginal acceptance. In this paper we analyse the facto…
Deserving and privileged
This article compares the struggle of two groups in Israel for housing rights. Following Schneider and Ingram’s model, the article analyses the influence of the social construction of each group ‒ residents of the communal rural sector as an advantaged group, and public housing tenants as a dependent group ‒ on its housing rights. The findings fit Schneider and Ingram’s model with one surprising exception: The ‘dependent’ group achieved significa…
From central to marginal
Over the past decade, in the wake of the global housing crisis, many countries have again turned to public housing to increase the supply of affordable housing for disadvantaged residents. Because the literature and past experience have generally shown public-housing policies to be contrary to the urban-diversity approach, many countries are reshaping their policies and focusing on a mix of people and of land uses. In this context, the Israeli ca…

The Land Narrative
Can centralization, decentralization and welfare go together? The case of Massachusetts Affordable Housing Policy (Ch. 40B)
The Massachusetts Affordable Housing Policy of 1969 (known as the ‘Anti-Snob Zoning Act’, or simply 40B), is one of the most admirable and controversial acts in the history of the state. It was intended to break through the exclusionary ‘snob’ zoning that was customary in United States suburbs at the time, and to open the suburbs to low- and moderate-income residents by encouraging the production of affordable housing statewide. The paper analyse…
Planning Discourse versus Land Discourse
Land policy and land-use planning policy are two types of public policy pertaining to space. In general, land-use planning policy deals with land-use allocation and property rights, whereas land policy defines the land regime of a society. These differences have shaped a unique discourse for each of these policy types. The purpose of this article is to examine the differences and similarities between the land discourse and the planning discourse …
The End of Agricultural Supremacy
This study examines the impact of the Israel Land Administration (ILA) reform of 2009 on Israeli land policy in general and on the status of agricultural land in particular. Despite repeated statements by government representatives that the reform pertains only to urban land, my analysis reveals that this legislation has dramatically changed the relationship between urban and agricultural land in Israel. For more than a century, agricultural land…
