Developing three networks

How can we build up a potential for further development in the west bay?

In order to strengthen the importance of the west bay in the further development process, there is a need of creating a robust and resilient system in that part of the region. To do so, we introduced a new green axis together with a network protecting the coasts and riverbanks from flooding. It consists of mangrove forests and wetlands in the areas adjacent to remaining agricultural lands and proposed city parks. The flood management system is also builtup of permeable hard urban edges which would have different levels. The loosely-tied threats represent soft natural edges, whereas tightly-tied threats represent hard edges. The knowledge-economy network is another step to make the potentialities of the west bay area stronger. All three networks lead to a more even distribution of people and resources in the region.
