The empty plots of the “financial center core area” can be connected each other by a network of the common space. Firstly we can consider as t he main connection the green belt along the river. That it can be connected with the city by the harbor stations too. Secondly the people mover will give the chance to move for all financial center core area without the help of the private vehicles.
In these case from the beginning the investors can connect their building with all city in ecological way. At the same time the people mover can became a green belt to improve the value of the common space. The green belts and the buildings can build in different timing in autonomous way from each others. To offer the best infrastructures for the private constructions. Step by step according their own scheduling of the investments to complete the whole construction in the financial center core area.
