Masterplan: part of ‘toolkit’ that bridges strategic to local

illustrates proposed urban form in 3D explains how the intended vision for the place will be achieved – implementation, phasing and timing of development … masterplans generally show an end state, even when continuous change is much more likely

Therefore ... What are critical aspects that need to be defined to guide change?
