Zoning
Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
