VISIONCREATING A VIBRANT TOWN AND IN BALANCE WITH NATURE

OBJECTIVESTO CREATE PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR ECO TOWN BASED ON

PREVIOUS STUDIES

ECO TOWN

SECTORS

SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STUDIES

ENVIRONMENT• Connect to nature.• Conservation of existing habitat.• Biophilic design.• Increase biodiversity by providing sufficient green area.

ECONOMY• Small scale businesses• Green industries• Eco tourism

HOUSING• Type of housing• Non gated area to increase sense of belonging• Green building design

TRANSPORT• Road and street network• Park and ride•Pedestrian and bicycle lane•Transit Oriented Development

INFRASTRUCTURE (Gray and Green)• Located near to community.• Support community activities.• Improve the quality of life.• Good ICT facility.• Conserve of green area before

development• Linkage of open space with green

area.

VISIONARY OF FUTURE CITY Planning for old people and people with special needs Low private transport dependency Well integrated and efficient public transport Able to work at home or near to home Facilities at walking distance Coexistence of modern and traditional Conservation of green areas in and outside of town Recreational based green area Zero: pollution , carbon, crime rate, motorize transport

– pedestrian accidents Smaller ecological foot print

LAND CONTROLMain ideas: Conserve environment

before development Sufficient green

infrastructure Link between Green

Areas Connect to nature Biophilic design Conservation of existing

habitats

Principles:• Sensitive areas and

areas with high habitat level should be identified and conserved.

• Design and plan green infrastructure before development

• 40% of the total area must be green area

• All green areas should be linked

LINKAGESMain ideas: Reduce motorize

transport Reduce vehicle-

pedestrian accident Promote Street safety Avoid arteries road in

neighborhood area Street network pattern

design

Principles:• Roads should be

designed to reduce private vehicle

• Road design should be in respect to human scale

• Slow traffic movement in neighborhood

• Avoid conflict point

Green Ring Main ideas: Green way to promote

pedestrian which is independent from roads.

green way that links to all major facilities and high density development area.

Central garden Use of green area to

solve storm water Link all green area

Principles:• There should be hubs and links.• All major green area or

recreational areas should be link

• There should be green area located in the middle of each neighborhood

• Greenway should pass through all important facilities to create an independent pedestrian pathway

• Sufficient green area should be provided to each neighborhood to reduce storm water runoff

TRANSPORT INTERCHANGEMain ideas: Located near to main

job areas Linked with greenway Integration of

transportation mod (pedestrian, private transport and public transport)

Sufficient Parking are to promote park and ride

Principles:• Should be accessible by

pedestrian, private and public transport

• Sufficient parking• Promote park and ride• Should be the main

public facilities that allow travelling between towns

• Should be located in places with high job opportunities

TOWN CENTREMain ideas: There should be more than one

centre to reduce movement Integrated facilities and

amenities Central garden Major facilities and amenities Linked by greenway Easily accessible by pedestrian,

public transport and private vehicles

Walking distance to surrounding development

Principles:• There should be multiple town

centre based on the radius of walking distance to reduce movement

• There should be a green area in the centre of the town

• The green area should be linked by greenway

• Integrated facilities and amenities should be allocated along the greenway as it provides safe pedestrian

• All public facilities and amenities should be easily accessible by public transport

LIFELONG LEARNINGMain ideas: Located near to homes Linked with pedestrian

facilities Learning centre for all ages Place for people to share

experience, give and receive training, counseling, tutoring, mentorship, and apprenticeship

Ensure social inclusion, active citizenship, personal development, competitiveness and employability.

Principles:• Should be accessible

by the neighborhood• Should be located near

to the greenway to promote pedestrian from the neighborhood.

• Should be located near to other educational facilities such as library and schools

LOCAL JOBSMain ideas: In homes or near to homes Dispersed but not focusing on one

point Accessible by pedestrian or public

transport Domestic related products or high

tech jobs that are environmental friendly and provides high income

Industry and business adopt the 3R concept

Green Industry Ecotourism Small Scale Businesses SOHO

Principles:• Jobs should be created near to

homes and dispersed throughout the town

• Industry should reinvest in natural capital such as 3R concept-reduce, reuse and recycle.

• Green industry should be promoted and agglomerated to achieve zero waste and zero emission by adopting 3R

• Businesses should be diverse and near to homes.

• There should be good network facilities to promote SOHO

• Eco tourism could be promoted at the rural fringe

LIVING IN TOWNMain ideas: High density and mix

use development in town

Near to local job area, facilities and services.

Good accessibility to public transport

Good pedestrian linkage

Good ICT facilities

Principles:• Develop based on transit

oriented development (TOD)• High density • Mix use development.• Good accessibility to facilities

and services• Should be link with green

ways • Efficient public transportation

facilities.• Near to local jobs• Good ICT facilities should be

provided to promote SOHO

Walkable NeighborhoodsMain ideas: Medium density mix use

development with good pedestrian facilities

Integrated with life long learning centers and local jobs.

Neighborhood green area/ recreational area

Public participation in managing neighborhood

Reduce and slow down private transport in the neighborhood

Good accessibility to public transport

Principles:• There should be greenway to

promote pedestrian (Short-cut)• There should be facilities to cater

people with special needs• There should be continuous

pedestrian and cyclists path connecting the neighborhood to the city center.

• There should be linkages of public transport and pedestrian facilities

• There should not be artery road in the neighborhood

• There should be centre garden to promote healthy lifestyle

Rural FringeMain ideas: Agriculture activity at

rural fringe Low density

development Good accessibility to

public facility High landscaping area. Coexistence of

traditional and modern Non-gated housing

Principles:• Conservation should be

done to agriculture and landscaping area.

• Cotemporary building design should be applied.

• There should be good accessibility to public facilities

• Eco-tourism could be promoted
