Unless a new development is intentionally designed using grid based or linear approach, a more organic flow can be used. There is no option for where the two new entrances of the site are to be located, therefore there is no real option for a spine road to be designed other than connecting the two points whilst avoiding constraints. This is not the best practice of urban design and seems to force the location of housing and other buildings. In addition, the movement strategy, Figure 39, is poor and should be more explicit and clear.
