The Local Planning and Construction Committee at the Jerusalem Municipality recently approved the new master plan, Jerusalem 2000, which provides many improvements for the city's chareidi population. The plan was initiated and outlined by Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky back when he was serving as chairman of the Planning and Construction Committee, as part of efforts to define the municipality's vision in terms of building and other needs in the years to come, and to create a uniform plan for the city.
