- Ecological reserve, a green framework which sets city limits, develops biodiversity and recreation facilities for residents.

- Protection of arable land threatened by urban sprawl and a need to develop local agriculture.

- Gradual, controlled and planned increased density to reinforce the attractiveness of municipalities and provision of local housing.

- Development of industrial zones that occupy a lot of land to increase their density, sustainability and attractiveness.
