## Full definition

Includes [density](/glossary/density) planning, work-style modelling (cell vs open vs activity-based), neighbourhood planning, and amenity programming. Should precede architect engagement on any meaningful [fit-out](/topics/fit-out-capex)">fit-out.

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so [cross-border](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
