In the contemporary discourse on urbanism, the integration of sustainable practices has become paramount, particularly in the revitalization of urban water bodies. The concept of water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) emphasizes the harmonious amalgamation of natural hydrological systems within the urban fabric, promoting ecological resilience and enhancing the vibrancy of public realms. This paradigm shift not only addresses environmental imperatives but also fosters socio-cultural enrichment by reestablishing the intrinsic connection between urban communities and their aquatic ecosystems.
