English: Zone-mapping of public routes existing as of 2012, portraying the complete streetweb incorporating unofficial through-ways side by side with to-scale proportion demonstration of uncivilized area (industry and port reservations) compared with the urban strip where the more streets are found. As it does not include gated ranges and/or watchman-operated passageways and focuses exclusively on casually-accessed foot traffic channels, with only few proposed reparations – this reflective map examines an existing ‘wander’ consecutivenesses of a given time, as a possible study case of challenged town-cores in medium-sized cites, when applying only the criterion of human’s access. The six sub-zones of downtown Haifa appear in different colours and illustrate different planning behaviours responding to the neighbourhoods’ each social and geographic patterns. It is notable and fascinating that many of the north–south orienting ways (in purple) are staircases, that were never planned or listed but were - and are - used throughout generations to compensate for the lack of direct north-south paved links, secondary to the terraced structure of the terrain, expressed in this whole borough in itself being a long and narrow east-westbound belt with somewhat little spatial depth. Intimate and informal, these stairways give the tone and character to a vast share of Haifa’s streetview and suggest one of its most firmly-identifiable and perceptible dimensions. It is worth noting that the only really flat area in the entire city is that captured by the infrastructures associated with the industry and port along the bay shore, part of which having been dried in various periods to allow the expansion of this land use. In its superficiality and clarity, the map may thus give an idea of reading the given old tissue through a universal variable and provoke a notion on the immense assemblage of civic opportunities in central Haifa.
