| The OAC18 view | Land in the right corridor, with nothing built on it and nothing published about what will be. | A metro corridor with buildings arriving one plot at a time, and no centre to any of it yet. | A long-dated position on a plan that is visibly being built. Nothing about it is a place yet. |
