Urban river revitalization at Sungai Batu downstream Sentul, Kuala Lumpur by using sustainable approach

This study focuses on one of the major rivers in the Kuala Lumpur city which have experienced a deterioration in the quality of water and aquatic life caused by human activity around it. Formerly the river was one of the waterways and water sources to the local population, but the river's funct...

Stream measurements Landscape architecture This study focuses on one of the major rivers in the Kuala Lumpur city which have experienced a deterioration in the quality of water and aquatic life caused by human activity around it. Formerly the river was one of the waterways and water sources to the local population, but the river's function had changed as the rapid development took place. The river's natural structure was renovated, concreted, and straightened in providing smooth rainwater runoff and the avoidance of flash floods. However, due to uncontrolled human activity and unplanned development, river water becomes dirty and polluted. Based on the site observation, residential, commercial and industrial areas are the major contributors to river pollution. In addition, river reserve of Sungai Batu downstream is lack of attraction and not well maintained. Hence, Sungai Batu downstream becomes a less-used area by local communities due to river water pollution, lack of pedestrian comfort and safety, and lack of public space attraction.
