CONCLUSION

Transportation has become the major tool in the area as it is being used as a tool to transport people from places to places. The connectivity of transportation is very important. Public transports such as LRT and buses reduce vehicle emissions which lead to less pollution.

Business, cultural, and different activities held in this area has major role in drawing people to these places. Besides that, connectivity such as street and pedestrian walkway encourage more people to use it, making the place and facilities more viable

SWOT ANALYSIS


Strength- Availability of public transports- Promote social interactions due to business activities and welcoming meeting places.- Diversity of culture and history.- Mixture of history and modernity

Weakness-Pollution- Pedestrian and vehicles travel randomly- Crowded with people during weekend and caused congestion-lack of vegetation and open spaces

Opportunities- Improve infrastructures such as roads, transportation and streets.-Maintenance of some old buildings.-Implement green buildings and more open spaces.-Raise awareness on cleanliness and green concept

Threats-Some old buildings are not well maintained and could not be preserved.- Pollution may affect health of the people there-Lack of awareness to the environment .-People might be reluctant to change, but to stay the same

SUMMARY


EXPERIENCE& LOOK AT THINGS IN DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.

As a group, we enjoyed ourselves in exploring the city and to learn to see things in different perspectives. Learning to make observations and try new things.
