Ashdod Travelers guide
23 Beginning in the 1990's, the waves of immigration changed Ashdod's status from a development town to an industrial city with rapidly growing population. Quarter Tet Vav (15) , the largest of the city's districts, was built in stages, the last of which included the construction of several high- rise buildings among other things. It was completed in the beginning of the 2000s. Following the large waves of immigration during those years, an additional master plan was prepared for the city, which included the construction of residential quarters Yod Gimel (13), Yod Dalet (14), and Tet Zayin (16) in the Sands Park and the Great Dune. In 2017 a new master plan was made, with the intent of significantly expanding the city, at the edges of the Great Dune among other places. Quarters Yod (10) and Yod Gimel (13) were built at the same time in the beginning of the 1990's, housing mainly immigrants from the former Soviet Union. The streets in Quarter Yod (10) bear names associated with the Prophets of Israel, whereas in Quarter Yod Gimel (13) the streets are named after the kings who ruled the kingdoms of Judea and Israel. Quarter Tet Zayin (16) , built during the first decade of the twenty first century on a relatively small area (following the new master plan), mostly contains residential towers. Streets in this district are named after fruit. Quarter Yod Zain (17) , construction of which began towards the end of that decade, consists mainly of private homes, and its streets are named after types of gemstones.
