Abstract
The paper discusses the planning of Israeli national parks within the context of a multicultural society. It examines the history of two of its prominent parks from the melting pot era in which parks were considered as an instrumental mechanism in fostering unified national identity, to the contemporary era of multiculturalism in which parks mainly strengthen communities’ cohesiveness. Gan HaShlosha National Park and Zippori National Park serve as case studies for exploring the role of planning in shaping the Israeli landscape according to changing societal trends.
