In the 1930s many German immigrants arrived to Tel Aviv. Among them were also the young architects Arieh Sharon and Yaakov Rechter, graduates of the Bauhaus School of Art and Design, who brought with them new architectural styles and ideas. A tour between the special buildings of Tel Aviv is a special experience, which makes it possible to see beautiful buildings and extraordinary balconies, which have been preserved and even enhanced in recent years at the very center of Tel Aviv. "The White City", the world's largest grouping of buildings in the International Style, also known as Bauhaus, was planned by the famous Scot, Sir Patrick Geddes. About 4,000 buildings were constructed in this area, beginning in the 1930's until the establishment of the State of Israel.
In July, 2003, UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, proclaimed "The White City" a World Cultural Heritage site. By this proclamation, the world recognized the special architectural qualities of the buildings, streets, squares and avenues of Tel Aviv.
