Case Study: Tel Aviv Smart City – Planning and Construction

Tel Aviv-Yafo residents and contractors no longer need to go to the city hall to submit building permit applications. With the municipality’s online system, applications are managed and processed automatically and efficiently.

This system is just one step in the city’s transition to online licensing. As part of these efforts, the municipality created a digital archive that is updated daily with sketches and plans, a location-based database and digital form submission services, and made it possible to receive online status updates and permits delivered by courier.

This online system has been integrated with other municipal computing systems and infrastructure to improve city services, streamline building procedures and timelines, and ensure uniformity, transparency and professionalism.
