Concept
The Banten master plan is divided into three zones, which aim to provide convenience to the people of Banten. The first is the construction of commercial areas close to residential areas, both within and outside areas still around residential areas. The second is the construction of an integrated area between the transportation and commercial areas for easy accessibility. Then finally, the structure of a greening area in the city center becomes an orientation point for elements on the site that increase hierarchy and are close to the surrounding community. A place with a transit orientation, friendly for pedestrians, and can be used interchangeably with motorists, as well as a beautiful environment for its residents, is a concept applied to this Banten Masterplan.
