The plan is located in an area of high landscape and environmental sensitivity and is adjacent to an existing residential neighborhood. Both these parameters are the main components in creating the planning concept and formulating the plan itself. The plan emphasizes development contiguous to the existing neighborhood, in a manner that minimizes damage to open areas and to the wildlife in the planning area and its immediate surroundings. Another emphasis was put on specific reference to adjacent residences and limiting the heights of new buildings in order to reduce friction as much as possible. A new trails and roads system will link the existing neighborhood of Ramot through the new neighborhood to Emek Ha’arazim Park and the Mitzpe Naftoach hilltop to the west
