Built on a 1:500 scale with miniature buses, cars, and trees, the model allows visitors to locate specific streets and landmarks at a glance. Continuously developed and updated through 2003, the Jerusalem Model serves as an invaluable tool for architects, planners, and municipal decision-makers to visualize development proposals within a city of profound historical and architectural importance. 

The model’s flexible, modular design—comprising 48 movable units—allows for easy adaptation, covering notable areas such as Jaffa Road, the Old City, and major cultural landmarks. Beyond its professional applications, the model also serves as an educational resource, engaging visitors with the complexities of planning in historic cities. In recognition of his dedication to preserving Jerusalem’s heritage while supporting its modern growth, Harvey was awarded the prestigious Yakir Yerushalayim honor.
