Site area: 420 ha
Perspectives
Platform
An urban-development project covering a total 420 hectares can be organised on the five sites surrounding the lagoon.
To that area are added the coastal parks and the large free spaces like the golf course, which are directly attached to each of the sites. As a result the total impact area is evaluated at 900 hectares. The density aimed at at this stage is based on Floor Area Ratios of 0.5 for the living spaces, vacation homes and hotels and 0.2 for individual housing and the lakeside towns.
These Floor Area Ratios can be adjusted, but they provide a base capacity for each of the sites.
