- Viewpoint
- Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint from the hills on the south side of the valley, looking north across the city toward El Ávila.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially on El Ávila, in the valley's trees and parks, and in the overall visual impression.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Caracas look like Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Medellín, or a generic Latin American city, and avoid Mediterranean or Alpine character.
