Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur in leafy Jalan Bellamy, the Orchard Park site was once well known among the local community.<\/p>\n
Set on a ridge, the steeply sloping site features distant views of Kuala Lumpur city to the south-west. The land was home to a number of colonial buildings that were slowly deteriorating under the tall remnants of a rainforest canopy. The park consisted of a creek that was polluted and flowed with a marginal to poor quality stream of water. The land was also used as a garbage tip and over time, the park became an open, derelict piece of land.<\/p>\n
AECOM was engaged to provide landscape architecture services to inject life back into this park. Among others, the project aims to promote locally grown productive orchards; provide education on the different fruit tree species that made their way to Malaysia during early days of trade; promote urban gardening; showcase sustainable landscape design; and demonstrate the execution of the effective and well detailed design elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3049,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[288,289],"class_list":["post-21192","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","city-jalan-bellamy","city-kuala-lumpur"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/21192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/21192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21192"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/benelux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=21192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
