Jerusalem Wins Five Stars
by Betzalel Kahn
The City of Jerusalem won five stars in the Beautiful City in
a Beautiful Israel competition, the maximum rating a city can
receive in the first round of the competition. Mayor Rabbi
Uri Lupoliansky welcomed the achievement, saying he would
continue to ensure that Jerusalem retains this esteemed title
in the years to come.
This was the City of Jerusalem's fourth year participating in
the nationwide contest organized by the Council for a
Beautiful Israel. Several aspects of the participating
cities, local authorities and regional authorities were
assessed: appearance, greenbelts, main streets, public
institutions and other central institutions, general
maintenance and local initiatives.
Over the past month, the City of Jerusalem has been busy with
various cleanup and maintenance projects to improve the look
and function of public parks, special sites, wall paintings,
benches, signs, streets and sidewalks, trees, planters and
plazas, lighting, paper-recycling containers and trash
receptacles.
