River regeneration

There is much discussion around the benefits of green infrastructure and how it can stimulate a holistic approach to sustainable design.

Case Studies

Patimban Port City Master Plan, Indonesia

Offering sensitive and intelligent strategies for storm water management, promoting health and wellbeing in our communities, together with its potential to revitalise our urban centres into rich and engaging city places that echo the biodiversity of the area.

Through our river regeneration projects around the world, we have contributed to this process of regenerate-renew-revive, offering places to establish symbiotic relationships between nature and people.  After the devastation of the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, we designed the regeneration of the Avon River Precinct creating a habitat to encourage the return of native birds and aquatic life.  In Subang Indonesia, our 525 hectare mixed-use and waterfront Patimban City Port masterplan aims to unlock the full potential of the city with waterfront communities which are flood resilient, ecological and prosperous.

Our Green Infrastructure report [PDF] focuses on riverside regeneration and the relationship between cities and the rivers that run through them.  It sets out how fundamental rivers are to the urban development of cities because of their profound interactions with both humans and nature.
