  • Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr
    1 Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr. Nant Mu Aye Professor and Head Geography Department Yangon University of Economics Introduction Brownfields are generally defined as abandoned or underused industrial or commercial properties where redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields vary in size, location, age and past use. They can range from a small, abandoned corner gas station to a large, multi-acre former manufacturing plant that has been closed for years. ( Environmental Protection Agency,) Some waste disposal sites suffer from the mistaken perception that they are contaminated, when in fact, they just need to be cleared of debris. There may be soil and groundwater contamination caused by discharges or dumping of organic and inorganic chemicals. Redevelopment of waste disposal sites benefits communities through urban regeneration, reduced sprawl, an increase in tax revenues and job and an improved living environment. Therefore, transformation of waste disposal site to housing area is important for sustainable development of the urban area. Brownfield redevelopment is important because it - restores urban property to productive use, thus increasing property values - increases job opportunities and local tax revenues - improves public health and the environment - utilizes existing public infrastructure. - eliminates neighbourhood blight, thus improving a community's image and long-term sustainability. Brownfields can be redeveloped for a wide variety of purposes. Successful redevelopment efforts have turned brownfields into retail sites, light industrial facilities, office parks, waterfront promenades, parks, schools, low–income housing, stadiums and transit centres. Strategic Brownfield redevelopment can clean up environmental hazards, remove neighbourhood eyesore, create jobs, provide housing and promote general economic health in local communities of all sizes.

  • Co-Creation Workshop
    CO-CREATION WORKSHOP IN YANGON Hosted by WOMEN FOR THE WORLD (WfW) With the support of COMMUNITY ARCHITECTS NETWORK (CAN) 9th-13th NOVEMBER, 2019 – BRIEF – 1. Overview of Yangon and Urban Development Trends Yangon is the largest city and commercial and industrial hub of Myanmar and the metropolis of Yangon Region. Formerly known as Rangoon, the city served as the administrative capital of the country before 2006, when the government moved the capital to newly-built Naypyidaw. Measured at 10,000 km2, Yangon Region is bordered by the Andaman Sea to the south, the Bago Region to the north and east, and the Ayeyarwady Region to the west, and, besides Yangon city, is predominantly rural. This geographical location, as well as the effects of climate change, expose the region to various natural hazards, like droughts, floods, earthquakes, cyclones and fires. In administrative terms, Yangon Region is divided into 45 townships, 33 of which comprise Yangon City and are divided into smaller units: 630 urban wards and 54 tracts. With a population of 7.3 million, it is the most densely inhabited region in the country. Most of this population is concentrated in Yangon City though, making up an average density of 5,363 inhabitants per km2 and an urban population of 5,2 million, which is expected to double by 2040. Yangon is also the most diverse hub in the country, being home to multiple ethnic and religious groups alongside the Bamar Buddhist majority; including Indian, Chinese, Karen and Rakhine people, and Muslim, Hindu, Christian and Jewish communities. This diversity can be attributed to the long-standing internal and external migration waves towards Yangon and, although it was largely suppressed during the period of military rule, its display in the life of the city has been increasing again.
