| Abstract: | There have been many studies of changes in the distribution of offices in large cities, discussing the relative decline of the share of office space in central business districts and the movement of offices both to residential areas on the margins of the central business district and further out into the suburbs. The present article does not discuss the process itself but rather neighborhood reaction against the penetration of offices into residential areas, taking up the specific case of the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem, a prestigious area on the margins of the central business district, into which a large number of offices have moved in recent years. The residents of Rehavia have organized to halt the process and diminish its intensity. This social reaction is of great importance, for it reflects the conflicting demands of development and preserving the character of inner urban neighborhoods. |
