Bangkok Green Link is a project that create green network within the heart of Bangkok based on the concept of “Revitalize City Infrastructure to Relink Urban Life” linking people and bring back nature to city. As we all know, Bangkok has faced the expansion with lack of planning, creating transportation networks for only automobiles, the clusters of development only along main transportation spots along with bunches of unused land under expressways and along the canal. As a result, these led to the disconnection between important districts and cause other social and environmental issues after. Thereby, this project proposed strategies that regenerate potential elements of the city including canal, railway, space under expressways and sidewalk in order to create connection of public space, district and city together. These 54 km greenways consisted of 28 km of outer ring and 26 km of crossover ways – facing the Bang Sue in the north, Vibhavadi Rangsit road in the east, Rama VI road in the west and Chao Phya Energy zone in the south. Accordingly, Bangkok Green Link will surely create beneficial value to the city – including environmental, social and economic issues, making Bangkok a green, sustainable city.
Bangkok Green Link Masterplan
Space Development Criteria
As Bangkok has been facing problems and challenges in urbanization consecutively, evidencing from the ineffective connection between pathways and transportation system along with the disconnected scattered neighborhood. We developed criteria – choosing 4 types of potential physical areas to develop.
- Canal Bank: It has potential to connect between water and ground transportation
- Walkways: They can be transformed to offer rich experience to passerby, and encourage interaction between people and city
- Space along railways: These idle green spaces can changed to create a more friendly walkways and space for people
- Space under expressways: It can be transformed into public parks in which can offer amount of green space equal to about 4.5 of Lumphini Park
Overall Strategies
Looking at the big picture of this green network, the project aim to create linking of 5 issues:
- Linking Transportation with an effective and a greener way of communing
- Linking District with nodes and public space connection
- Linking People with an interactive event space such as park or pocket park
- Linking Nature with the increasing of greenery
- Linking Technology to fulfill urban lifestyle
This greenery network proposal can be significantly beneficial in several ways.
1. Environmental Benefits
At the end, the project can add up to 10,800 more big trees (about 1.08 million square meters of green space) to the city. According to this, they can also absorb 1,620 tons of Carbon Dioxide and filter 3,580 tons of dust per year. Storm water can be detained and absorbed about 54,000 square meters and temperature can be lowered down for 0.4-3 °C within 30 meters, together with enhancing biodiversity for the civic life.
2. Economic Benefits
In addition, the greenery of the project can increase around 20% of land price and lower down travelling and medical expense as it enhance people to take a walk in civic life. Accessibility to variety of place and activities will accordingly effect on local economic growth.
3. Social Benefits
Thus, this project development will reduce crime as idle spaces had turned into new activity space, and add up the number of inclusive public space for all. Moreover, the increase of walkways and bicycle lanes, along with newly designed half running route that can significantly reduce the usage of automobiles.
Main Link 1 – 10km Expressway Link
10 km Expressway Link is a green walkway under the expressway that connects two prominent city node – Bangsue Transportation hub and Charoenkrung Creative district. The route has also passed through Chatuchak commercial area and Aree residential area. As shown in the diagram, the entire greenway were build up with 6 strips performing different main activities, to fit in appropriately with the surrounding context.
Creative usage is integrated to the existing structure and left-out area, bringing life and interaction to the neighborhood as seen in the transformation of space under highway. Moreover, a part of Activity Strip has been already constructed as a project called “Lan Kila Pat 2”, designed by Shma Soen Company Limited. Similarly, unutilized space among community in turned into homey sport arena and playground for all ages, and kindly done with a participatory process with the community.
Main Link 2 - Sathorn Link - Eco Smart Street Link
This green path has passed through Sathorn, a major road of Bangkok’s CBD, combining technology, ecology and social activity. It aims to reconnect all scattered development and stakeholders together again.
Initially, the street and Sathorn historical canal will be improved for a better quality of live – safety, liveliness and effectiveness. Existing walkways are widened and improved for comfort walking. Cycling lanes are added up along the street with various trees giving nice looking shadings. Accordingly, Sathorn Canal will be cleaned and equipped with plants and tools to treat the water quality along with accessible space for people enjoyment. While looking forward to the final outcome, elevated skywalks will be introduced to underlie the settlement of Grey line monorail system while leaving the least effect to the lively canal. Such elongated space will enable people to do various activities from resting to running, and hopefully learning about nature as it being habitat to birds and insects too.
Main Link 3 - Rail Link – Bike Express Link
