Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park

Sections of the park’s schemes

For the first time in 30 years of rapid urban development, an invaluable property at the heart of Bangkok—11 acres of land and 1.3 kilometres of avenue—was not turned into another commercial use. Instead, it has been transformed into a public park. Opened in 2017, Chulalongkorn Centenary Park is the first critical piece of Green infrastructure in Bangkok to mitigate detrimental ecological issues and reduce urban flood risk.

The first of its kind in Bangkok, the 1.3-kilometre road running perpendicular to the park was revamped to shift priority from cars to foot and bicycles. By reducing four-vehicle lanes into two and enlarging them each from 12 to 30 metres, the once heavily-congested street now seamlessly connects pedestrians and cyclists directly to surrounding neighbourhoods and roadways that are linked to the city’s major residential, entertainment and retail facilities.
