The design strategy is to support the multiple agencies of tourism and ecological development. Additional social, cultural and economic metrics will be integrated through policy and infrastructural agendas. By considering the intersections of future transportation, natural ecologies, tourism programming, planning policy regulations, economics and social impact, and the previously proposed development strategies, the aim is to redefine the notion of an integrated township for the next generation.
