OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS
Junctions & Building Access
Common movement path Accessibility to ground level from podiums
Community & Building Scale
Cycling infrastructure such as
cycle stands will help making the
development more cycle friendly
Located adjacent to feeder bus
network for easy transition
Space for convenience shops
