REFLECTION OF IMPLEMENTATION
BANGKOK SELECTED AREA
Cities are newly constructed or expanded to serve the rapidly urbanised world. The infrastructure and urban planning decisions made at this stage are path dependent which can lead to unsustainable way of life. The Research project aims to achieve sustainable transport through automobile dependency which could be realised by shifting transport mode from private vehicles to public transport. Singapore is one of the cities that has been regarded as successful sustainable transport planning with the main strategy to make public transport more attractive than private vehicles. In contrast, the neighbouring city like Bangkok has been regarded as anatomy of

traffic disaster. The research studies possibility of transferring Singapore’s planning strategies to Bangkok to encourage the use of public transport through transfer exercise. The exercise allows input strategies from the selected site in Singapore to be identified. Ex-ante assessment then evaluates each input strategies to Bangkok‘s background conditions to generate output strategies which will be implemented in the selected site in Bangkok.

MAJOR IMPLEMENTATION (OUTPUT STRATEGIES)
INTEGRATED TRANSIT
• Create better connection between public transport modes to encourage the use of public transport.
Modify the underused space adjacent to the station, which is currently serving as on-ground parking, into an integrated hub which connects sky train and underground train through commercial spaces and create a regulated bus and van terminal similar to those in Singapore.
COMMERCIALISATION ON GROUND FLOOR
Integrate shops and stalls facing the street within the transit hub. • Decentralise development. • Provided day-to-day convenience. • Minimise the requirement to commute.
PUBLIC AMENITY
Incorporate public facilities with the transit hub which will allow residents to easier access.
RECREATIONAL SPACE
Improve the accessibility to the existing park.
COVERED WALKWAY
Create covered walkway network connecting key destinations on the site as well as connecting buildings within the same complex.
• Enhance walking experience, make walking a better choice especially for tropical weather.
ALWAYS FOOTPATH
MINIMAL ROADS FOR DEVELOPMENT
• Reduce convenience of private automobile. • Reduce space used for automobile infrastructure, create more land for other purposes.
LIMITED PARKING
• Provide convenience for commuters to change modes. • Efficient boarding time. • Accurate fare charged.
INTEGRATED TICKET SYSTEM
Improve the quality of existing footpath and introduce more footpath in small streets with the residential areas. Minimise private vehicular access in government office complex areas and improve walking facilities. Provide limited and centralised parking in the government office complex areas, remove on-ground parking in front of buildings and improve walking facilities.
Introduce integrated ticket systems for all public transport modes. EX-ANTE ASSESSMENT

The research and the transfer exercise have shown that the strategies can help improve attractiveness of public transport at the neighbourhood level through increase accessibility to public transit. These Singapore’s strategies could be transferred to benefit Bangkok, and other developing cities, with appropriate adjustment or the transfer of other elements in the policy plan to compliment the strategy. However, these strategies help improve accessibility to public transit only perform as part of a larger system of good public transport network, urban planning and private vehicles controls to achieve sustainable transport.

Stockholm Royal Seaport (SRS) is an important strategic site for the city of Stockholm, as an arrival point for ferry passenger tourists. It is close to the citycentre, situated beside wealthy neighbourhoods and the national park. SRS looks to become a selfreliant area, providing a full set of facilities and employment to local people. However, strong transport links to the citycentre, neighbouring districts and universities will integrate the area into the wider city of Stockholm.
to environmentally sustainable living, facilitated by developing hard and soft infrastructure to be completed by 2030. The main goals are to create individual happiness and community wellbeing which can be achieved through three main strategies; Place making, Accessibility and Empowerment and Engagement.
Living Synergy is the strategic planning for the new development of the brownfield land of SRS. The strategic planning looks to build a happy, empowered and engaged community, committed
Through these strategies, the targets and actions are drawn out. The actions will lead to achievement of individual happiness and community wellbeing.

SRS will be divided into three character neighbourhoods; the northern area will be targeted as a residential area for young families and the elderly; the central section will be the commercial hub; and the southern section will cater to young professionals and families. The creation of 7 social hubs distributed across the Seaport can be seen as integral to fostering the environmental vision and providing maximum opportunity for interaction within the local community. Although the spaces will provide opportunities for the large continuous flow of tourists to engage with, strengthening the local community identity lies at the heart of the development.

YEAR 4 The design is a model of a sustainable flea market that responds to environmental conditions through passive design while manages and regenerates its own waste with on-site operation, management, and regeneration. Jatujak market is one of the largest flea markets which generates high economic flow but also generates large amount of waste. The design sees this as an opportunity to improve the market through sustainable design which is climate responsive, environmental friendly and manage its own wastes. The designed system creates waste loop that minimise the waste from having to leaving the site.

Experienced the culture YEAR 3 Water is a quintessential element in Thai culture. It symbolises purification, meditation, respect and awareness. This monument encourages the users to engage in the different meanings of water in Thai culture through different physical rituals and gestures suggested by different parts of the design.

The key design is in the transformation from the brightness and floating experience on the pedestrian and bridge level to the darkness and solidness of the cyclists’s shed on the ground. The fusion and transition happens at a particular moment when all the activities intersect. Let the indescribable, unscripted passageway leads the direction and awaken all the senses.
