THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK – 6 D’S 1. DESTINATIONS Coordinate land use and transportation by concentrating development along corridors PD 1: Higher density at higher volume and higher frequency transit PD 2: Promoting mixed land uses around the corridors to enhance viability PD 3: Creating good connections to surrounding areas and inner-city to increase viability of existing transportation
2.DISTANCE Permeable street network that connects open spaces and public transport PD 1: Creating a fine grained street network to minimize distance and enhance connections PD 2: Creating a multimodal mobility network with interlinked public spaces PD 3: Creating multimodal streets that prioritize pedestrians over vehicles PD 4: Connecting NMT’s access to frequent transit PD 5: Coordinate street implementation with enabling utility infrastructure 3.DESIGN People centred design that preserves the area’s district culture, history and character PD 1: Design to attract interest in users of the space PD 2: Enhance street’s sense of legibility PD 3: Parking design should be to the convenience of the pedestrian PD 4: Places around stations should be designed to benefit the users PD 5: Design places that enhance the local culture, history and character of the local area
4.DENSITY Intensifying development around transit stops
PD 1: Promoting mixed use re development and infill developments. PD 2: Create a balance between building height and public space PD 3: Matching the right densities with specific characters of the area
5.DIVERSITY Creating a diverse and vibrant cosmopolitan environment through provision of a range of choices, services and facilities
PD 1: Promoting mixed use re development and infill developments. PD 2: Create a balance between building height and public space PD 3: Matching the right densities with specific characters of the area
6.DEMAND MANAGEMENT Ensuring an efficient functioning system
PD 1: Parking supply and demand should support objectives of trying to reduce use of private cars PD 2: Create a self-contained environment where people can meet their needs in their respective areas PD 3: Ensure that the area is serviced by efficient and sustainable public transportation

Strategic area framework
VISION Enabler 1 • Provide a mix of higher density affordable housing typologies that can accommodate an increased population within the next 40 years.
VISION Enabler 2 • Provide a high quality transport system that will be the catalyst for future development and will serve the needs of the future population.
VISION Enabler 3 • Provide sufficient public open space (both hard and soft), and social amenities to support the higher development density and to provide a high quality urban environment.
