The district plan achieves this by creating five roads that split the site into three commerical strips across the site. A marsh is placed in the central spine of the site to maintain flooding.

Residential program is split by commercial blocks, which create the commerical strips that bridge over the marsh. The marsh bleeds out of the spine where the institutional strip is located to create an intersection between the ecological node and the architectural node. The marsh is one of the fundamental designs for the success of the design; it helps maintain flooding, and also splits the site in two parts (North and South), which the commerical strips stitch together.
