Article source: Chyutin Architects The municipality of Hod-Hasharon was established as a cluster of four colonies or neighborhoods, each of which has its own center of public activities. The aim of the proposed municipal civic center is to create a complex of public services in an area common to the four neighborhoods, to unite them into a municipal fabric.

The main pedestrian axis, which begins from the pedestrian mall beside the commerce, business and entertainment building, runs from the north of the site to the eucalyptus grove and joins the pedestrian bridge that passes over the park, concluding beyond the tree-lined avenue in the park, in the vicinity of the school that exists there.
