Road Layouts & Plazas

• The hierarchy of the street network has been

identified by different species of trees aligning on
either side, with distinct colour characteristics.
The residential clusters also have a distinct
identity by the different species of trees along
their streets. This gives the residents a sense of

belonging.

• Network of streets to diffuse traffic.

• The alignment of the streets is such as to make

them safe for the residents to walk and cycle along.
The streets are interspersed with roundabouts or
staggered intersections so as to slow down the
vehicular traffic.

• An interesting flow of transition spaces.

• Features of interest have been added every
50m or so, in the form of landscape sculptures

at the roundabouts or at the plazas created at
the street junctions. These plazas provide pause
points for the pedestrians and foster interaction
between residents.

• Variety in the street layouts is achieved through
the layout of the buildings along the street
(staggered layouts), layout of the parking along
the streets (parallel and perpendicular) and the

variety in plaza layouts and landscaping.
