| Summary: | The Sg. Petani River is vital to the local community. The river was an important resource and mode of transportation during the British era. There are numerous rivers in Malaysia, one of which is in the Sungai Petani district, where a Sungai Petani River has been forgotten and marginalized in the town. The area surrounding the river is rapidly growing. The river is no longer valued by the local community and is now used as a landfill. Aside from the long-standing issues, bad odors from the river contribute to a negative perception of the river. As a result of that issue, the riverfront space has become isolated; improvements to connectivity have yet to be made, and people have lost interest in visiting. The mangrove community is the river's most valuable treasure, which has been hampered by water degradation in the site study. Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani intends to make the river a main attraction in the area after realizing the river's loss and its benefits to the environment. The riverfront development approach of the Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani plan has been chosen as the site study for the Sungai Petani River. The design solution is contained in the master plan, perspective, and other strategies. In short, riverfront development is the most effective way to revitalize the riverfront community. |
