In a poll conducted by Geocartgraphy, a leading Israeli research institute, 69% stated that it was important to mark the Centennial Year.
Summarizing the active participation of local residents in the various initiatives, it can be seen that one of every 4 Tel Avivis took an active part in community-based activities. These include projects for elders and children, neighborhood and group-based initiatives, programs for taxi drivers and designers, artists and local activists.
In addition, all of the city's schoolchildren – some 55,000 ranging from kindergarten children to high school students – studied about the Centennial Year and participated in artistic and cultural activities related to the city's heritage.
During the Centennial the city launched 15 large construction projects, that will dramatically shift its urban landscape. These projects, with an overall costs of around 1 billion Shekels, include the completion of 100 kilometers of bicycle routes, the Sarona Templar Colony and the old train station, the boardwalk project, the Dizengoff Statue, the 3 new Routes and others.
