The main targets of the regeneration program are creating land-uses, urban densities, infrastructure programs, integrated vehicle and pedestrian flows, urban squares, nodes and niches to be developed for ensuring the urban continuity, community care and green-gaining. Regarding the scale and municipal level of urban intervention, the project approach had a great potential to be relied on sustainable development principles.

The decision of creating a 40 m wide boulevard on north-south axis had become the spine and of the master-scheme. The urban square located in the physical centre of the project area is an important hub to be, due to subway connections, boulevard connection and surrounding offices, high-rises supporting large public spaces and so forth.
