Breezeways and View Corridors

Non-building areas are planned to serve as breezeways, taking account of prevailing wind to improve air
circulation and/or to provide major view corridors from the hillside to the sea area to the north (Figure 24).
They are strategically placed in order to create a comprehensive breezeway system to promote better air
ventilation and urban climate. The breezeways incorporate opportunities to provide views to the mountain
backdrop and the sea from various nodes and open spaces within the area. For those sites which lie
along the breezeways/view corridors, future layout of building blocks should be encouraged to align with
the prevailing wind directions and sufficient building gaps should be provided to allow for good wind
penetration.
