3 A proposal... The over 4,000 families living in the Boeung Kak area were given three options: 1. Compensation of US$8000 and 2 million riels 2. Flat in Damnak Troyung and 2 million riels 3. On-site development Option 3 is preferred. With support from architects at Sahmakum Teang Tnaut, the remaining residents at Boeung Kok Lake propose an onsite development plan that provides adequate housing for residents, without making them leave the area. It is a win-win plan; residents get to stay in the area, while other parties show concern for the urban poor, and prevent the negative attention a widescale eviction would bring.

4 MAINLAKE Boeung Kok Alternative Plan January 2011 Boung Kok alternative planning 1:1,804 BOEUNG KAK MAP WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_48N Map of the communities living along the lake in µ LEGEND Oct, Meters 15 hectars The current development involves an area of 126 hectares. We propose an alternative plan where housing for current residents takes up an area of 15 hectares, or around 12% of the total. This area is enough to house over 1500 households, leaving 111 hectares, or 88%, for the development of more commercial and upscale housing areas.

5 Principles Plot base approach. Since the first community design meeting, it was clear that the preferred design was one which gave each household its own plot of land. This is typical in Cambodia, and what many families strive for. Bottom up approach. This proposal was developed with and for the community. It represents a modern design approach, which brings urban planning closer to the needs and desires of the people it affects.

6 Standardization. Being an affordable project, the use of standardised sizes is an important tool in reducing costs and facilitating construction. Different needs, different streets. 3 m 14 m 3 m 3 m 6 m 3 m In order to create a more vibrant urban space and to target specific needs, we are developing an urban grid that includes different types of spaces. In this way we can facilitate commercial activities as well as have quiet and liveable residential area. 6 m 3 m 10 m 3 m

7 Boeung Kok Development plan: one of the possibilities This is one of the possibile location of the housing plan. The area could also be split in two areas to better adapt to the Boung Kok general masterplan. The area is pushed back from the lake, taking the shape a long strip. This layout lives the lakeside area open to other development.

9 Main transportation road kept external. Market roads allow to cluster commercial activities. Community roads, with reduced width, keep heavy traffic away from housing. Community center, distributed along the area, provide public services. A market avoid long communitng in other part of the city. In case the site will be along the lake side, the layout will enhance connection between road and the waterfront.

10 Urban design guidelines: Movement street: allows more intense traffic to stay outside the community and residential area. 3 m 14 m 3 m Pedestrian street: favours the use of the public space in an active way. 3 m 6 m 3 m Community street: allows local traffic but favours the use of public space. 3 m 10 m 3 m Shop street: facilitate the commerce of small business by clustering them. 6 m

11 Housing Natural ventilation is assured by the openings on the roof. The design is based on a modular system to simplify and reduce costs. The structural grid is based on a 4m module. It allows future development. Use of skylight to improve quality of the interior domestic environment.
