• To define a unique theme and architectural image that distinguishes the development as a destination with emphasis its religious significance.

• To integrate the development into the larger regional context especially those areas contiguous to the tourist/religious attractors and investment nodes.

• To identify the strategic sites for which a direct development by Bloom is required to create the critical mass and population influx to the new city.

• To test different development scenarios and concepts followed by studies of building typologies and various block structures in view of the project's feasibility study.

• To develop urban design and plot development guidelines for the various and critical parts within the city to illustrate how prototypical lots can be developed and to illustrate various scenarios of how the city can grow over time.

• To instill within the new city master plan a framework with a sufficient degree of flexibility to take account of any changes and adaptations that might take place over time.

• To build a framework for the new master plan with a built-in social unit – the ward neighborhood – at its heart. This to be in balance with Bloom’s aspirations for maximum development potential and added value. Market rate and real-estate components need to be strategically located to provide attractive opportunities for other potential investors.

• To identify within the master plan possible development catalysts and sustaining socio -economic factors.
