Shapira (Hebrew: שכונת שפירא) (Shechunat Shapira) is a neighborhood in south Tel Aviv, Israel with a population of 8,000. It is located south of the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station and extends to the Ayalon Highway in the east, Mount Zion Boulevard in the west, and to Kibbutz Galuyot Street in the south.
Shapira is home to a large community of migrants and foreign workers. In 2005, it was described as one of the most heterogeneous neighborhoods in Tel Aviv.
The neighbourhood was founded by Meir Getzl Shapiro, a Fourth Aliyah immigrant and an American Jewish businessman, who immigrated to Israel in 1922 and bought plots along the seashore.
In the late 1920s, a neighbourhood named Oved A was established north of Shapira. In 1933, Shapir and Klein purchased the Habbab Orchard near the neighbourhood, dividing it into 60 plots that became the Shapir-Klein neighbourhood. In the early 1930s, Givat Moshe neighbourhood (named after Moshe Carasso) was added. These four neighbourhoods collaborated on various matters, including education. In May 1936, Givat Moshe was described as follows: "It is inhabited mostly by Bukharan and Persian immigrants. It also has crowded, not particularly high-quality shacks, but at least it is a Jewish neighbourhood." In 1940, Givat Na'ar was established north of Salamah Road.
When Kiryat Shalom was built on Abu Kabir lands, seven neighbourhoods were established—three south of Kibbutz Galuyot Road and three to its north, now considered part of Shapira:
In July 1950, the cornerstone was laid for the HaPoel HaMizrachi neighbourhood. By March 1951, 12 buildings of the HaPoel HaMizrachi housing project were under construction. By mid-1952, 160 apartments had been completed. In early 1954, residents moved into 28 apartments in the Poalei Agudat Yisrael housing project. The HaPoel HaMizrachi buildings differed from others in Kiryat Shalom as they were built on a hill, featuring front balconies and red roofs.
The Pardes Katan and Pardes Gadol neighbourhoods were originally part of the veteran settlement project of the Histadrut in Kiryat Shalom. However, due to their geographical isolation, they were given a separate committee, making them independent neighbourhoods. In 1961, Assif and Bar Yochai streets were paved.
