Living alongside water instead of fearing it

Bangkok's new Chulalongkorn Centenary Park

Bangkok’s first significant piece of green infrastructure, Chulalongkorn Centenary Park (CCP), aims to lessen the risk of flooding in the city and other ecological issues. The Park can store up to one million gallons of water during periods of heavy rainfall. The Park is an example of alternative landscape strategies for reducing urban flooding and, a reminder of the city’s ability to live alongside water rather than fear it in the face of climate change.
