ECHOES OF THE LAKE: RESTORING BIODIVERSITY & CULTURE

The project envisions an ecologically balanced urban lake that restores biodiversity, preserves cultural activities, and promotes sustainable human interaction. A blend of recreational, educational, and ecological spaces will ensure the lake remains a thriving natural habitat while meeting community needs. Key interventions, such as bioswales for stormwater management, forest parks, terraced steps, and controlled access boardwalks, will regulate human activity and protect the environment. These features will create a harmonious space where nature and people coexist, fostering environmental stewardship, cultural engagement, and sustainable urban development, ensuring the lake’s long-term health and vitality for future generations.
