The key of the overall planning for the waterfront is the relationship to the waterfront or lakefront. Whilst the buildings on the boulevard predominantly reinforce the alignment of the boulevard, the waterfront planning should tie the boulevard back to the waterfront. The conceptual approach is relative to context and tropical climate. The new urban plan places integration with landscaping and view as priorities. It encourages creating "fingers" of developments towards the water body and infused with park, creating a series of green forecourts. The urban plan suggests the building orientation and massing provide maximum view toward the water and development across the lake. The massing is broken into smaller components with different heights. This approach will ensure the integration of landscape and building massing.
