Geddes collaborated with his son-in-law, architect Sir Frank Mears, on projects in the Middle East. In 1919, Geddes was commissioned by the British Mandate to draw up a masterplan for Jerusalem. In 1925, he also submitted master plan for developing Tel Aviv, called "The Geddes Plan (Tel Aviv)" . It was adopted by the city council led by Meir Dizengoff. Tel Aviv is the only known city whose core is entirely built according to Geddes' plan.

Famous quotes containing the words work in, work and/or palestine:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.”
—Billy Graham (b. 1918)
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
