Urban Design & Planning

Landscaping is introduced in varying degrees along the route, in line with the architectural concept of the variouszones. Soft landscaping along the riverbanks would include trees that would strengthen the embankment and provide shade. To create a linear park along the river, there has to be a proper jogging track, benches and pavilions for resting and contemplation. Suitable lighting and fittings would further enhance the ambience and safety for the users. The Melaka River project had created interest among the city residents with social events like fishing competitions, boat cruises and tourism campaigns being held regularly. It is a catalyst for commercial, retail and other business opportunities which will bring economic revenue for the city and its people.
