    Western Haifa

    Covering 9.33 sq. km. Western Haifa constitutes 14.7% of Haifa’s area. The population of 39,720 residents makes up 14.2% of the city’s population. This area stretches alongside the Mediterranean Sea bordered by the beaches and the slope of Mount Carmel. The area’s main points of interest are ancient Haifa sites including Tel Shikmona and Elijah’s Cave; the cable car from Stella Maris to the beach, the sea side promenade and beaches. Neighborhoods include Bat Galim, where the Rambam Medical Center and Medical School are located, Kiryat Eliezer, Kiryat Shprinzak, Ein Hayam, Sha’ar Ha’aliya and Neve David. The southern part of this area, which is the southern outskirts of Haifa, includes the southern transportation depot for buses and trains (Merkazit Hof Hacarmel), MATAM – Science-based Industry Park, the future bio-tech research center, the Haifa Conference Center, and shopping and recreation areas. These include the southern beaches (Dado and Zamir), Haifa Mall (Kanyon Haifa), Castra Mall and Art Center, Sportan Country Club, Leonardo Hotel and the Sami Ofer Stadium.

    Bat-Galim and Kiryat Eliezer have a combined population of 18,700 – forty-one percent of them are new immigrants. Bat Galim was the first point of Jewish settlement in modern Haifa, established in the 1920’s. After the State of Israel was established, housing for demobilized soldiers was built in Kiryat Eliezer, between the years 1951-1954, when long, multiple-entrance, three- to four-story public housing projects were built.

Later, permanent housing was built and they became part of Haifa’s neighborhood network. Kiryat Shprinzak was established between the years 1951-1954 and is also a site of many long, multiple-entrance three- to four-story public housing projects.
