Sanusi, Muhammad Hijaz and Mohd Yusof, Norliza (2012) Jury Review - Restoration and Revitalization of Klang River at Bandar DiRaja Klang. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2012, 4. pp. 39-41. ISSN 2180-0685

Abstract

Pulse of the city Muhammad Hijaz Sanusi The student has done a good job in analysing and synthesizing the site, except that he left out the historical part of the river. The idea of making the river as a connector and the concept of “bringing back the clean water, greenery and people to the river” is vital as Klang town now is facing urban degradation. Taking into consideration of publicparticipation in water conservation is also a good approach as it aligns with the Local Agenda 21. The proposal of dividing the area into 3 zones is a brilliant attempt but there are few points needing further consideration which are: 1 .creation of islands in the middle of the river (Zone 3) since the width of the river is the constraint. 2. the missing historical values the old port of Klang- Pengkalan Batu at Zone 2. Overall, it is a good and informative presentation.
