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

within development

STRATEGIES & RECOMMENDATIONS

NETWORKS : Bicycling Network

Use of colonnaded area as

bicycle parking space

bus shelters

children’s play area
