	* Maximize the excitement and value of the waterfront
	* Build on local culture and religious tradition
	* Provide a distinctive and memorable public realm

			==Transportation==
	The shape of each island represents the best balance of land mass and length of waterfront edge, with the size of islands chosen to maximize either connectivity or privacy and exclusivity. Once the islands were set, Diyar studied the waterfront closely to find ways to maximize public access to the water while also creating focal points for the community. These focal points include tranquil public beaches, active marinas and lively waterfront retail projects. Once these focal points were established, the master planners worked to link each neighbourhood to the nearby amenities with footpaths and roads.
