PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Babeldaob
01
Use Babeldaob historic core as the orientation base, then group Babeldaob historic anchor and Babeldaob market and food route before crossing to the other side of Babeldaob.
02
Give Babeldaob waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
