The photo of Hadar ha-Karmel neighborhood in Haifa is part of an album of 88 photos taken by the photographer Zoltan Kluger, in the years 1937-1938 in Palestine under the British Mandate. This collection contains spectacular photos of kibbutzim, moshavim, towns and cities, presenting the development of the Jewish Yishuv after a decade of tremendous waves of European Jews immigration. Kluger was the official photographer for the Zionist institutions Jewish National Fund (JNF) and Keren Hayesod, and this album is part of a large number of photos he took in Mandatory Palestine. 

Hadar ha-Karmel, or in short Hadar, was established in 1922. It was planned according to the principles of a 'garden city' by the German Jewish architect and town planner, Richard Kauffmann, who was back then the head of the planning department at the Jewish Agency. Hadar ha-Karmel was one of the first Jewish neighborhoods in Haifa, which was, and still is, a mixed city of Jews and Arabs. In the 1920s it was considered the distinct modern neighborhood of Haifa. After the 1929 Arab riots in Palestine, many Jews preferred to live in Hadar rather than in mixed neighborhoods of Jews and Arabs throughout the city. This led to the massive construction of modernist apartment buildings and the accelerated development of the neighborhood. 

The photo shows the modern apartment buildings and a big public park in the heart of Hadar ha-Karmel. The park was established in 1923 for the welfare of the neighborhood's residents. In 1925 the park was named "Gan Binyamin" after Baron Benjamin Edmond James de Rothschild, on the occasion of the Baron's visit to Haifa. The buildings and the park shown in the photo still exist today.
