1.3.2. City centre
The shopping centre forms the heart of the city. Here, too, the city-centre [classification as village centre above] forms the heart of the city. The structure is similar to the residential villages. Only here, instead of outdoor sports installations, etc., various shopping and entertainment venues are established around the town square. Surrounded by the ring again for bike paths, cars and bus lane.
The various types of large-scale activities, cultural facilities, health care, education institutes and municipal services are housed in several clusters around the centre.
Again green roads for cars, bike paths and bus lanes between the city clusters.
The outer city ring again consists of a ring road for cars, bike lanes and bus lanes, surrounded by lush green parklands. This forms the connection with the various residential towns.
The character of existing city centres will be maintained. Where possible and desirable, elements of the city-centre-living will be fit in, without loss of historic features.
