A major urban strategy masterplan for the capital city of Sri Lanka. d-squared contributed expertise in energy issues and urban design, in collaboration with: Milroy Pereira Architects in Colombo, Ove Arup, Brian Ford Associates, Mario Cucinella Associates from Europe.

 

The regeneration competition sought ideas for the long term growth of a sustainable capital. Our proposal fits the rebuilding of the city centre into a strategy which addresses the infra-structural needs of Colombo, including drinking water, sewerage, port handling capability, transport nets and power demand.
