Batu Kawa Riverbank Park
A model of green transformation, Batu Kawa Riverbank Park shows how flood-prone lands can become thriving public spaces that revitalize neighborhoods, connect communities, and embrace the rhythm of nature (by Landscape Architecture Malaysia Yearbook 2025). Once an abandon floodplain, the 15.6-acre Batu Kawa Riverbank Park in Sarawak has been reimagined as a riverfront public park designed to function both as vibrant parkland and a flood plain. Guided by Nature Based Solutions, this dual function design transforms climate risks into community assets. A kilometer of river frontage now supports ecological restoration, protects biodiversity, and offers spaces for recreation, education and cultural engagement.
