Three Malaysian islands projected to 2030 bring together mixed-use neighborhoods, establish habitat connectivity, and support fringe ecologies in urban reserves, parks, corridors, and plazas.
BiodiverCity is a city in the Penang region conceived as an urban mosaic composed of island spaces and a set of building design guidelines to mix schedules, address pedestrian and mobility networks, build sustainably and pool resources.
The Channels, BiodiverCity's first island, is being built in three complementary phases: in phase 1, active destinations include a wave pool and technology park; in phase 2, a civic center will establish governance and research institutions in the area; in phase 3, a cultural initiative builds on the heritage and vibrant creative energy of Penang's George Town to create a regional and international attraction.
As the heart of the district, The Channels' 500-hectare digital park includes space for research, development and local business opportunities.
The Mangroves, BiodiverCity's second and central business island, is organized around a network of protected urban wetlands, which create environments suited to the mangrove forests of the same name, an important natural infrastructure that serves as an effective powerhouse to seize more four times the carbon of a typical forest.
At the heart of The Mangroves, the Bamboo Beacon will host important meetings, conferences and events, imparting the knowledge developed at BiodiverCity to the world.
By encouraging roofs, facades and green public and private open spaces, islands can form a positive, nearly continuous habitat mosaic that spills into the forests, beaches, riparian zones and estuaries at the edge of the sustainable archipelago.
The buildings of the three Malaysian islands of the future will be designed to operate efficiently and will be largely constructed with low-carbon materials, such as bamboo and Malaysian timber, in combination with "green" concrete, a sustainable alternative composed of industrial waste and recycled materials.
BiodiverCity's westernmost island, The Lagoon is an oasis of eco-life, organized around a central marina.
Finally, eight smaller islands form a miniature archipelago, where floating, stilted and terraced houses take advantage of the natural setting of Tanjung Gertak Sanggul.
