REJUVENATION OF POPULATION IN TEL-AVIV INNER-CITY

The formation of a new in-migration stream to the inner city of Tel-Av iv in the 1960s does not fit the gentrification model. Instead, groups of the new middle class were attracted to the inner city where they r eplaced the elderly middle-class households that were in the final sta ges of their life cycles. Gentrification in the southern fringe of the inner city is merely a by-product of the major process.
