Implication of the narratives

This narrative shows that the proposed site has series of potential characteristics that are yet to be investigated, in order to turn this proposed site into a social learning hub for people stop-by. The existing routes for both pedestrian and vehicle seem to be the prominent feature for the site that are worth to develop into more connected to every corner of Bangsar South.
