Hadar Hacarmel is one of Haifa's oldest neighborhoods and a central residential district in the city. The neighborhood was established as a "garden city" according to the planning of Richard Kaufmann in 1922. The term "Hadar" includes the collection of neighborhoods located on the step between the lower city and the Carmel. In the past, the meaning was more limited, and the Hadar neighborhood was defined by the streets east of the Herzliya neighborhood, whose land was purchased as early as 1907, and a little further east of today's Balfour Street. Subsidiary neighborhoods, which arose on all sides, soon merged, some of which lost their name and identity, and were included in Hadar HaCarmel, and together they now constitute a district with an area of 2.83 square kilometers, about 4.4% of the jurisdiction of the city of Haifa.
