Safdie: The man against the plan
By Esther Zandberg
"I have no problem with the West Jerusalem plan being postponed and
canceled," says the man behind the plan, architect Moshe Safdie, "on one
condition - that they don't build at all in this area. If they leave the
area open and green, then that's fine with me.
"I have no interest in the plan in and of itself, but in the welfare of
Jerusalem. If there is a decision not to build west of the city at all,
I would consider that a brave political decision and would come to terms
with it and accept it. But it seems this is not about to happen. That is
why I haven't come out to defend and advocate for the plan."
Safdie said this to Haaretz in a rare telephone interview on the subject.
