Riparian Landscape Design with the Riverwalk Concept for the Revitalization of the Deli River in Medan City

The Deli River in Medan City serves as a vital ecosystem and water source but faces pollution and poorly managed riverbanks. To address these issues, a Riverwalk-based riparian landscape design is proposed to restore ecological functions while providing aesthetic and functional green space. The design integrates ecological approaches, functional zoning, and green infrastructure like rain gardens and bioswales to manage stormwater and protect the river. Key features include jogging tracks, bicycle paths, playgrounds, vendor areas, and educational spaces. This concept aims to enhance the riverbank’s appeal, promote community engagement, and support environmental sustainability in Medan City.
