This proposal summarizes a tsunami resilient city called Waterland City located in Kuching, East Malaysia. The city is designed to accommodate 150,000 citizens and incorporate green spaces like forests and plants throughout the buildings and public areas. To protect from tsunamis, the city has four highland sectors covering it and sea walls along the highland. The highland also includes agricultural areas and wind turbines to provide food and power. The narrow, tall buildings are designed to allow water to flow through gaps without reducing wave energy and the green forests help slow large waves passing through.

Waterland City
Proposal Summary
This is a Tsunami Resilience City designed by our group member Kenneth Tan. The inspiration of creating
this city came from the look of an umbrealla. Then through group discussion, we improved some of the
weaknesses of this city. This city is located at the beach side of Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. This city
can fit around 150,000 citizen and it continues to increase at least 1% every year. The size of this city is
around 38.5KM2 . By the scale of 1:20000 , this is the model of the future city we’ve done. We will also
promote the green concept of the city by covering the bulding and living area with green plants and trees.
To prevent Tsunami from hitting our city we have the highland which is the four sector covering our city.
The sea wall are also constructed on the highland. The highland also is a argricultural area and wind
turbines which provide food and power to the whole city. The building of this city is narrow and tall to
enable the water derbies fuelled along the gaps with no reduction so water are able to dissipated. The
green forest covering the city will retard the flow of large wave as it passed through the forest, which
makes this city safe from tsunami.
