2. When the Streets Talk: Tel Aviv
We are writing to tell you about a new, innovative, exciting social project, first
of its kind in the world, on which we have been working on for the past few
months.
The essence of the project is to build a technological platform that will curate
the flavors, scents and colors of the experiences, memories and stories of the
105 years of existence and to tie them together into a single location,
informative, historical, educative and connected to its roots, and in the
process to offer everyone, residents and tourists together, a virtual map of the
city and its stories. We are also planning on putting into print; a book that will
include selected stories with incredible pictures that will sit on every
resident’s coffee table.
‘We are using history to make history. Never has there been a city that has
documented its history via its residents’ stories.
This is our chance to add that additional personal layer to the vibrant streets of
Tel Aviv.’
