SITE
Any area which has played a significant role in the history of our country.
• Such significance may be: • Historical
• Cultural
• Archaeological • Sociological
• Scientific
A site for human activities (production and consumption) may be divided into
lots, street pattern, and provided with such facilities as water, sewer, power,
drainage, etc.
• Every site is a unique interconnected web of things and activities that
imposes limitations and offers possibilities.
• A SITE (“Project Area” or “Planning Area”) varies in size, location and
characteristics.
