Landscape Middle East - February 2023

この問題で

Thailand’s capital Bangkok was last year named as the most liveable city for expats in Asia and the second best city worldwide based on its affordability and connectivity among other things. In our February issue, we feature two of the city’s most recent transformative urban development and landscape projects that seal its reputation for future urban living in Asia.

Read our cover story on page 18 to learn about The Forestias, a residential masterplan with a large forest at its heart. Situated on the outskirts of Bangkok, it provides a template for future urban living in Thailand. The pioneering development focusses on three primary themes of serving the community, promoting intergenerational co-living and connecting with nature.

We also feature the iconic Chao Phraya Sky Park, a new landmark in the city that came to life against the backdrop of the pandemic in 2020. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration opened this remarkable public space, which had previously been left abandoned for almost 40 years.

Now the halted infrastructure project has been given a second lease of life as the newest Bangkok landmark and the nation's first pedestrian bridge park spanning a river situated in Bangkok's most significant historical area. The 360-degree view connects the city‘s historic town and modern skyline with a single glance.

Other Landscape features include, Ziva, a luxury retirement community in Chennai designed to offer its residents resort-style living, as well as a stunning renovation project of a family villa located in the Meadows community in Dubai. We also look at Sharjah’s latest efforts to become sustainable, with its ‘Your Urban Farm’ initiative that is designed to introduce Sharjah Sustainable City’s residents to urban farming with access to Agri Pods on which they can grow their own plants or vegetables.
