Historic Sites to be retained. Pedestrian movements to be encouraged at KABBA LEVEL. Vehicular movements to be maintained at lower level, to avoid conflict of both. Landscaped coutyards and open spaces to be encouraged in a systematic pattern, to access residential units (low, medium & highrise units in the form of housing, walk-up apartments, highrise hotels & towers etc). A skyline to be maintained as per the surrounding character of the building structures. Future expansion to be considered strongly - Alhamdoolillah ISLAM is expanding fast everywhere. Jazakallah Wa Khairun Salamun Alaikum,

Having this expansion has helped alhamdulillah, but the disadvantage is that many people that owned part of that land has lost it.Some owners where original makkans. NeverMind That. But why are they building massive hottels.Wheres the profit going to go, to the people or to the Goverment. It was said expansion, NOt building 4 5 Stars hotels. Allah Forgive us from All of this. Only Allah Can Judge Perfectly. There are always Advantages, and Disadvantages.

I am aware that the Hajj will attract more people from its previous years, therefore more development and services are needed for the pilgrims. But there should be some other alternatives, like for example how to make life easier for more and more pilgrims every year without changing the environment as much as possible to meet both the expansion of the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah to accomodate worshippers and to keep its original envionment and landscape as it was at the time of the Prophet(PBUH), especially places which are seen or mentioned as significant.
