Abstract

The design looks at the role of the forest as a main ecological hub for the city core. It attempts to highlight the symbiotic relationship of nature and man. This relationship is depicted using interconnected hubs via ecological corridors such as riversides and green parkways to maximize movement of wildlife as well as to unify the city’s green fragments. As a main hub, the city’s forest is distinguished in the ways in which it combines a concern for the wise interaction of the city’s natural and man-made environments, together with a strategic approach to return the forest community to its primeval state and sustainable – ‘Roots of Symbiosis’. This concept therefore expresses the values of the new communities by referring to the interdependency of ecological and urbane elements – enhancing the understanding and relationship between the city, its inhabitants and the nature.
