The SRFD Project not only provides protection to the city from flooding but also reclamation of land. More than 85% of the land made available by the riverfront development is allocated for free and open public use. This includes more than 20 km of pedestrian promenades on each bank and a 29 km long road network that has made the riverfront easily accessible and well connected to the surrounding areas and the city as a whole. People of the city now enjoy water-related recreational activities and get access to lush green parks and gardens which constitute about 50% of the reclaimed land.
