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