The Coastal Zone - Iskandar Malaysia

THE COASTAL AREA CHAPTER 12 | PART 3
▼ Public Access
In the coastal zone, public access to the coast shall be secured and
designated to ensure free access for the general public. Thus, for all
new developments, a public right of way in a form of a pedestrian
promenade is proposed.
▼ Edges
Development works on the edges of the coastal areas are important.
Two types of edges will be proposed along the coastal zone; soft edges
and hard edges.

▼ Visualisation
The visual projection of the coastal zone development is important as
the area is the gateway of Malaysia. Iconic buildings can be located
along the coastline to enhance the skyline of Southern Johor.

Soft edges are green and blend in with the natural landscape. The
natural protection and eco-zone areas are of natural soft edges
with existing vegetation, while some urban areas with low impact
development will also be of soft edges though it is subject to treatment
to prevent erosion.
