FUTURE. Future parks may include reforesting roads and closing these roads to make way for al fresco restaurants.

INDIGENOUS. Low-rise buildings starting with resorts will be devoid of air conditioning and using only organic, indigenous building components as construction materials.
GREEN. Roof deck pocket forests will be mainstays to replace lost greeneries on the ground where a building will sprout.
