Several constraints and motivations in explaining migration to the inner city of Tel-Aviv are analysed. It is argued that the process was triggered off by decline in new constructions relative to the constitution of new households in Israel. However, the back-to-the-city movement was not stimulated by a manipulative elite or by decline in housing prices in the inner city. Instead, the inner city became the preferred location of several groups of lifestyles including young urbanites, Yuppies and Dinkies, and young mobile households, as well as more family-oriented households seeking high-status flats in the inner city.
