Urban Planning Concept and Ideas of Banjarmasin City Competition

The government of Banjarmasin City will hold International Competition on Urban Planning Concept and Ideas of Banjarmasin City based on the river system. The city is laid on flood-prone waterways, located on delta near the Barito-Martapura rivers junction. Banjarmasin has developed on almost 105 rivers, creeks, and canals, so it is famous as the River City. Development of Banjarmasin has hardly paid attention to their river system and neglected them, and the city had lost their river image and impression, the natural resources, and their river culture. Development orientation of the city has changed from river-base to land-base, which valued the rivers just as a complement not as a heart of living as before. Now, we have to realize that existence of these hundred rivers must be part of the city arrangement and development.
