Conducts heritage assessments before any urban renewal projects. Collaborates with the Ministry of Culture to protect culturally significant sites.
Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan
The Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan introduces a new planning framework for the long-term development of the capital city. It replaces the current Basic Development Plan and Development Map with a more detailed, structured and legally readable system of planning documents.
The existing development framework was created under the authority of the Ministry of Urban Development, which oversees city planning, zoning, infrastructure, environmental protection and sustainable urban growth across the Denebolian Republic. The current Development Map already serves as a legally binding framework for zoning, infrastructure and transportation planning.
As Denebol Prime continues to expand, the city requires a more precise instrument. The Metropolitan Plan divides the planning process into several separate documents. Each document focuses on a specific layer of urban development, including transformation areas, land-use structure, transport infrastructure, public spaces, landscape systems and district-level planning.
The purpose of the Metropolitan Plan is not only to define what can be built, but also to explain how individual parts of the city should develop over time. It distinguishes stable districts, areas of gradual improvement and major transformation zones. This makes the plan easier to read, easier to update and more useful for future development.
The Metropolitan Plan therefore becomes the new principal planning document for Denebol Prime. Older development documents remain relevant as historical and preparatory material, but their regulatory role will be gradually replaced by the new metropolitan planning system.
Document 01 - Map of Transformations
The Map of Transformations is the first document of the Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan. It identifies which parts of the city are considered stable, which areas are expected to undergo minor development and which areas are reserved for major transformation.
The map uses three basic categories. White areas represent completed or stabilized parts of the city, where no major development is expected. Orange areas mark locations with smaller interventions, ongoing projects or gradual local improvement. Red areas identify territories where significant urban, landscape or infrastructural transformation is expected.
This document does not define the final shape of every building or district. Its main purpose is to provide a clear overview of where future change will happen. Detailed regulation will follow in later documents and urban studies.
The Map of Transformations is divided by city districts and uses area codes for easier orientation. Each marked area is then described in the legal attachment, which defines its planning status, expected type of transformation, study requirement and admissible functions.

Document 02 - Map of Architectural Values
The Map of Architectural Values is the second document of the Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan. It defines the architectural, historical and landscape values that should guide future development of the city.
Unlike district-based planning documents, this map works across district borders. It identifies architectural areas according to their character, material logic, public-space structure and historical importance. Each area is marked with its own code, which links the map to the legal description of the document.
The document also identifies biocorridors, green areas and significant buildings with historical protection. These elements form an important part of the city's identity and must be considered in future development, reconstruction, infrastructure works and public-space design.
The purpose of the Map of Architectural Values is not to stop the city from changing. Its role is to make sure that future changes respect the existing character of Denebol Prime, protect important buildings and strengthen the architectural coherence of individual parts of the city.

Document 03 - Map of Transportation Development
The Map of Transportation Development is the third document of the Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan. It defines the main transport structure of the capital and protects the corridors, stations and transport points needed for the city's future growth.
The map identifies existing and future subway lines, maglev corridors, present and planned stations, stations intended for reconstruction and important transport points. It also defines restricted no-fly zones, which regulate civilian, military, government and international air traffic above selected parts of the city.
This document connects the city's spatial development with its transport capacity. It ensures that future districts can be served by public transport, that important corridors remain protected and that major infrastructure can be built in stages without being blocked by later development.
The Map of Transportation Development does not determine the final technical form of every line or station. It establishes the strategic framework. Detailed alignments, station design and interchange solutions will be developed through later transport studies, infrastructure projects and district-level plans.
