Description
- HIGH DENSITY LOW-RISE Human-scale is maintained in this dense low-cost housing district.
- EYES ON THE STREET The close-knit building layout and pedestrian environment has proved to be successful in creating a safe and lively neighbourhood.
- COLLECTIVE LANDSCAPE The area’s neighbourhood landscape plan made in 1973 details out small plazas and gardens amidst the dense housing. These spaces remain today with maintenance by residents.
- PARTICIPATORY STREETSCAPE Originally, the pavement consisted of concrete blocks laid on sand. Residents who wished to plant gardens could remove a block and use the space as a plant bed.
-PEDESTRIAN ALLEY A series of open spaces branch out into a network of pedestrian paths. Vehicular circulation is restricted to perimeters of the district.
