Thailand's bustling, congested capital has a new park, an oasis of green that is part of a drive to bring shade, peace and quiet to a noisy city and make it a more livable place by 2030. Thousands flock to the site, which used to house tobacco factories.
The design mixes the old with the new. The architects retained more than 1,700 of the site’s original, mature trees, then planted almost 7,000 others — most of them saplings — to create pockets of forest throughout the park. As they age, their foliage will grow and spread, deepening the cover.
Water plays a central role. A series of ponds and islands creates a wildlife-friendly, wetland environment and also acts as a treatment system, filtering waste-water from nearby communities. Surrounded by concrete and steel, city residents currently enjoy just 7 square meters of urban green space per head, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.
