Use strategic modelling to evaluate options on development phase for multiple outcomes

iv.

Post-evaluation of projects for future improvisation

v.

Continuous effort in researching and learning from relevant data These suggestions conclude that relevant experts in the built industry

environment shall take part in sharing their knowledge and skills in the respective field. The shared contribution would allow innovative approach the ideation of flood-resilient development that would bring benefits for financial, social and environmental sectors of urban development. While experts and financial contributors are regarded as core stakeholders in developing flood-resilient waterfront as solutions towards flood risk, consideration towards public community shall be highlighted as a crucial objective as they are the main target-user of the flood-resilient development. Bjarke Ingels Architects in The BIG U design reports introduced the concept of “tailored resiliency” where core concept of designing for flood protection is not only to provide a barrier but rather an act of enhancement and empowerment for the social and urban condition. The firm highlighted that community, and the environment shall be the ultimate end-user of a resilient development; thus, their opinion must be taken into account.

Topical Study : Flood Resilient Design Strategies Case Study of Urban Waterfront

Published on Jan 1, 2021

The current contextual problem of flood vulnerabilities imposed a significant threat towards a safe built environment, especially in the urban area that is prone to flooding. In Malaysia, the flood has been the most severe event of natural disaster that deals with a significant loss in the resource that could restrict economic and social growth of the nation. this paper seeks to identify the resilient factors in the design-based intervention that is based on concept and principles, contextual application, design features criteria, and policy/initiatives enforcement. The study identifies design interventions that can combat or adapt flood vulnerabilities in a humanistic and sustainable approach. As such, the study focuses on comparing and appraising existing or proposed waterfront development that adapts the flood vulnerabilities as an innovative design solution for the ultimate goal of providing a safe built environment that is prone to flood disaster.
