Abstract
The master plan represents a designer’s effort to integrate both ecological history and stories of cultural landscape in an urban public space. These two aspects make the design unique. First, by evoking the nature, a green river corridor is designed with native riparian, mangrove and woodland community restorations. These communities recall those that had existed before urban settlement, way back when Klang was a mosaic of tropical rainforest communities complemented by a river valley. Second, the strategy is to encourage activities of cultural and recreational in fulfilling its aim of giving responsibility for balanced and sustainable human activity in urban area. The path system, for instance, provides access to difference spaces at the site as well as representative of either cultural or recreational activities with its integrated constructed habitats. The overall design, however, maximizes the spaces for human and nature as to safeguard and enhance the urban ecosystem.
