Saliena’s urban planning is a mixture of the traditional garden city approach and a modern dwelling area surrounded by the old culture of Riga city. Despite the fact that this town is created in the 21^st century, the scenery vistas and sights open effectively towards the green areas.

Public and private areas are separated by narrow yard streets, increasing the safety of playing children as well as helping to hide the parked cars.

The boulevards are lined by linden and maple trees to give a strong neighbourhood character.
