The provision of social and public facilities (schools, creches, clinics etc) are based on a 5-minute walk (radius of 400m). Other facilities and amenities such as multi-purpose halls, post office, police stations, hotels/motels, churches etc will also be provided at Cornubia. Cornubia will also boast a BRT (bus rapid transport) system, hence a multi-nodal transport interchange for taxis and buses will be planned.
The general approach is that all facilities will be accessible to pedestrians and not just vehicles.
