    and adaptability

    Area should highlight its historic resources

    Showcase the recognizable and unique identities of different areas of the community, improve
    the visual environment and creation of a sense of place

    enhancement of the neighbourhood.

    Feasibility of plazas, pocket parks or improved open space

    Environmental approach to design in the context of sustainability

    1. To understand the spaces, its location and its significance


    2. Components of the space and its character, legibility and image
    3. Network and interdependencies
    4. People and their usage of space as in function / activities
    5. Historic precedence, heritage / conservation values
