ISSUES/ANALYSIS
• The urban blocks and street patterns have not acknowledged the local context and features isolating the planned area
• The urban blocks are developed dedicating for residential uses only with different sizes and orientation
• Street networks are developed resulting multiple street junctions.
• the land pooled area is not well integrated with its surrounding existing areas in terms of land use and road connectivity
• Open spaces are located, without acknowledging the pedestrian/ everyday activity network.
• Built form is not different from unplanned settlements due to land development control only on regular plot sizes than land use and density.
• The concept of integrated infrastructure development is not appreciated to promote mixed land use and other amenities.
KEY STRATEGIES- CONCEPT
• Connecting Streets integrated with existing networks
• Downsize large blocks to increase the permeability and cut distances
• Introduce a street hierarchy, which regards internal and external traffic flows
• Built form Strategies and public spaces to associate and enhance the image of space. Enhance the variety of spaces along the block to improve the spatial quality and general activity level. Creating more public open spaces for people considering movement network and connections with people

Integrating the surrounding features and existing infrastructures, two major streets through the site is proposed. Commercial activities are targeted along these two major streets to cater the whole residential unit as seen in figure. Since, the commercial corridor are already being developed near the south corner of the site, the major commercial square is proposed at the center of north major street.
