• The Map of Public Institutions forms the fourth regulatory layer of the Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan.
• The purpose of this document is to identify existing public, strategic and civic institutions of metropolitan importance.
• This document also designates development areas where new public institutional buildings shall be included in future development.
• The document supports balanced distribution of public services, emergency response, government functions, education, healthcare, culture, diplomacy, finance, military infrastructure and transport-related public facilities.
• The document shall be used for the preparation of urban studies, transformation-area planning, infrastructure projects, district plans and public investment coordination.

• This document shall be read together with the other documents of the Denebol Prime Metropolitan Plan.
• Where the Map of Transformations identifies areas of future change, this document identifies public institutional requirements that shall be considered within such change.
• Where the Map of Architectural Values identifies protected buildings, this document identifies institutional function and public importance.
• Where the Map of Transportation Development identifies transport corridors and stations, this document shall support the placement of institutions in accessible locations.
• Public institutional buildings may also be subject to architectural protection, transport protection or no-fly-zone regulation under other documents of the Metropolitan Plan.

The Map of Public Institutions identifies public institutional buildings by colour category.

• Light green markers identify education buildings.
• Dark green markers identify military buildings.
• Red markers identify fire department buildings.
• Blue markers identify Denebolian Police Force buildings.
• Purple markers identify government buildings.
• Pink markers identify hospitals and healthcare buildings.
• Bordeaux markers identify diplomatic buildings and embassies.
• Yellow markers identify culture buildings.
• Orange markers identify banks and financial public institutions.
• Black markers identify transportation buildings.

Development areas are identified by codes shown on the map. The map determines the location and category of public institutions and designated development areas. This text determines their regulatory meaning.

General Regulation of Institutional Development Areas

• Institutional development areas are territories where future development shall include public institutional buildings.
• Institutional requirements shall be incorporated into the urban study or development plan of the relevant area.
• Institutional buildings in these areas shall not be treated as optional decorative elements. They form part of the required public infrastructure of future development.
• The exact number, location and size of required buildings shall be determined by an urban study or later public infrastructure plan.
• Where several institutions are required, they may be grouped into a civic centre, campus, public-service cluster or mixed public building if such solution preserves their function.

BL01 Borrowland Development Area

• The area is subject to future development and shall include several public institutional buildings.

• The required public institutions shall include a hospital or healthcare facility, a fire department facility, a bank or financial public institution and government buildings.
• Additional education, police, cultural, diplomatic, transport or other public institutions may be added where justified by the final development intensity.
• Public institutions in BL01 shall be coordinated with the surrounding transport network, public spaces and future development structure.

SP01 West Islands Development Area

• Institutional buildings may be distributed across the area or concentrated into one or more civic clusters.
• The final arrangement shall ensure accessibility, emergency coverage, public visibility and functional independence of strategic institutions.
• Because SP01 is an island development area, future planning shall pay special attention to transport access, emergency access, water connections and redundancy of public services.

HB01 Bay Horn Development Area

• The area requires construction of all public institution building categories listed in this document, unless an urban study proves that a specific category is already sufficiently provided nearby.

• Institutional buildings shall be planned as part of the future urban structure of Bay Horn and shall not be postponed to later undefined phases without replacement provision.
• The final arrangement shall coordinate public institutions with district centres, transport corridors, public spaces and landscape structure.
• Because HB01 is a major development area, its institutional network shall be planned before or together with major residential, commercial or strategic development.
