Redesign, renovate and convert.

يُعِيدُ المُهَنْدِسُ تَصْمِيمَ المِنْطَقَةِيُحَوِّلُ المَشْرُوعُ المَطَارَ القَدِيمَ إِلَى حَدِيقَةٍ

Urban passive

يُبْنَى / يُخَطَّطُ + nominative

No named doer; the subject is nominative.

يُبْنَى مَشْرُوعٌ ضَخْمٌ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ المَدِينَةِيُخَطَّطُ لِاسْتِكْمَالِ المَشْرُوعِ

Goal clause

لِكَيْ + verb (final fatḥa)

State the planning goal with a subjunctive.

يُخَطِّطُونَ لِكَيْ تَكُونَ المَدِينَةُ صَالِحَةً لِلْعَيْشِ

Structure	Marker	Example
material	مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ	مَبْنِيٌّ مِنَ الزُّجَاجِ

passive	nominative subject	يُبْنَى مَشْرُوعٌ
goal	لِكَيْ + fatḥa	لِكَيْ تَكُونَ

مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ names the material; the passive names the process

بُنِيَ الجُزْءُ القَدِيمُ مِنَ الطِّينِ وَالخَشَبِ، وَنَاطِحَاتُ السَّحَابِ مَبْنِيَّةٌ مِنَ الزُّجَاجِ وَالصُّلْبِ. The passive يُبْنَى، يُخَطَّطُ، يُعَادُ تَصْمِيمُهُ names the process without a doer, and its subject is nominative.

لِكَي sets the planning goal

يُخَطِّطُ المُهَنْدِسُونَ لِكَيْ تَكُونَ المُدُنُ أَكْثَرَ اسْتِدَامَةً (so that cities become more sustainable — تَكُونَ, subjunctive). The purpose clause carries the goal, and the verb takes a fatḥa.
