AN APPROACH TO DEVELOP AND ADAPT BANGKOK URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR FLOODING FUTURE

There are various effects of global warming that cause trouble to humanity eg. extreme events include storm surges, worse tropical storms, more rain, etc. Bangkok is one of the cities that will face extreme events and will later submerge soon while the existing infrastructure system cannot handle the changing of the new global climate. More and more parts of the city continue to submerge because the city infrastructure such as the city canal network is blocked by the watergate system. Each of the section by sections is barricaded whereas the urban drainage system cannot handle the mass of water. Together with the result of less urban green area and other factors, it is necessary to adapt Bangkok's infrastructure into a flood-resilient city. To adapt to the new global climate, urban planning, building regulation needs to update those new factors into the new design guidelines. This research was produced to study the urban strategies for future development to adapt to new factors such as seawater rise and, extreme weather events through the change of human habitat lifestyle from the existing condition.
