This project aims to achieve balance. It aims to balance urbanization with nature and it aims to balance a growing tourist industry with the need to maintain a strong cultural heritage.


The balance of urbanization and nature ensures that residents will never lose the common amenity of natural beauty and ecological health, which increases the value of all land and the quality of all lives.


In the case of tourism and cultural heritage, the balance lies in identifying those artifacts of cultural heritage that have synergy with tourism, and ensuring that the revenue that is generated by that interest is reinvested into the preservation of cultural heritage.
