The fast growth of the city prompted Meir Dizengoff to invite Patrick Geddes, a Scottish city planner, to create a plan for Tel Aviv. The plan was supposed to create expansive infrastructure for the new Jewish city that was growing at a very fast rate. Geddes’s plan was accepted and provides the the very first description of the city. The present city structure, with main roads and wide boulevards, was built according to this plan.
