A masterplan accompanied by information in separate diagram/maps on program, functions and flows, phasing (5/10/20 years). The emphasis is on a narrative providing detail on the neighbourhood scales (street and community)
It is further visualized in collages (min. two). A couple of examples of policy proposals examples is are to be given. Referencing the existing documents outlining how these are connected to the proposal and the proposed changes.
The design process is documented in diagrams summarizing the decision making process and development strategy (how we got here) - eg. Matrix graphs. Relevant reference projects are to be included.
