Guidelines & directives include but are not limited to the design and forms of different elements, materiality & preferred colors, & components that identify the character & pattern of buildings to ensure consistency with the urban pattern requirements.
To advance the region’s development projects consistent with its urban and architectural identity objectives, qualified Design Studios are required to be established.
