Abstract

In undertaking the Klang City River restoration project, the designer endeavours towards Green Dissemination concept by integrating the ecological with educational aspects of the river and land that surround the area. The project aims to create a place where the user can appreciate and get closer or even be part of the nature. At the same time, the community can participate, garnish and sustain the natural environment. Furthermore, knowledge is being disseminated on the importance of the river and its ecosystem. The design engages several strategies for achieving this aspiration. They include the improvement of water quality, convalescing human interaction and activities, revitalizing the green corridors and reviving the river habitat and ecosystem. These are being translated into the development of an Eco-forest wetland mangrove, water play park, Edu-center, media garden with outdoor library, urban farm, water plant garden and many more. Hence, this project provides a place where people can be part of the green nature as well as understanding the magnitude that constitute an environmental offerring.
