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