Bimkom

Bimkom - Planners for Planning Rights (Hebrew: במקום - מתכננים למען זכויות תכנון) is an Israeli human rights organization formed in 1999 by a group of professional planners and architects, in order to strengthen democracy and human rights in the field of spatial planning and housing policies, in Israel and in Area C of the West Bank, which is under Israeli control.

Bimkom works with both Jewish and Arab communities among others, in attaining fair, equitable and appropriate planning of the physical spaces in which they live.

Bimkom's Center for Planning Support in the Arab sector assisted several townships, including Yarka, Arara, Baka al-Garbiyyah and Qalansawe, to obtain expansion of their respective development areas.

Bimkom, together with other social change organizations, introduced into the Urban Renewal Authority Law a number of measures designed to protect low-income residents.

Bimkom succeeded in having the villages of Dahr el-Maleh and Sateh al-Baher in Area C connected to the electricity grid.
