This suggestion presents and propose the idea of an off local limits, huge, radical area masterplan that will ‘‘flood’’ the east side of the city where the valley is. It is a territory where the introduced ‘‘proper’’ monuments (observatory, culture mall, athletics) of a bigger city planning can be erect and function in terms of rythm and pause, local inpact and regional strategy. A snake-like elevated corridor can be identified as the urban connector and attractor aiming to receive and orientate the users towards each and every minor and major function. This pathway might itself be the contemporary monument of the city performing mainly and mostly as an observation belt either to the connected and exist urban elements or to the city as-it-is.
