PLANNING NOTES
How to shape As-Salt
01
Use As-Salt historic core as the orientation base, then group As-Salt historic anchor and As-Salt market and food route before crossing to the other side of As-Salt.
02
Give As-Salt waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan As-Salt regional landscape as a deliberate extension from As-Salt regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
