The main theme for the grand design is a green pattern and settlement. The local governances’ sensitivity of protecting the environment of the area, the phenomenon of being dependent to green has came up again in the past few years. A consistent plan has made with upper scale resolutions by Beylikdüzü Municipality.

The slogan of the planning process is “Touching the green”. The first aspect of the project was intended to create a single form by mixing green pattern and existing square. The square and its streets are part of the public space. The project had to be regarded as a convenient and multiuse space and one which is community-centered.
