Abstract

This is a town park – designed to attract people by offering a sense of retreat from its busy urban surroundings. The ‘Green Beyond Space’ is the concept that responds to connection of life in both natural and built environments. The landscape comprises a series of small parks that vary in scale, composition, and organic form besides displaying considerable restraint and simplicity for people and wildlife. Thus, the focus is on the sensitive approaches of ecological and conventional landscape design to improve Klang River water quality. This promotes nature by creating a natural habitat within an urban area. The habitat creation is emphasized on the riparian planting, mangrove restoration and introduction of floating islands. The design also takes into account the community’s use of outdoor spaces for socializing and recreation. In particular, the water feature, promenade and viewing points could provide rich and dramatic experience back to the nature.
