Restoring Beira Lake - an integrated urban environmental planning experience in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Dissanayake, Leonard | Pereira, Ravi
This publication provides a record of the history of Lake Beira, its gradual deterioration, previous efforts made to improve it, and future lake restoration plans. The publication aims to raise the level of public knowledge and provide information to concerned citizens who wish to maintain a dialog with decision makers and participate in the lake's improvement. It also details some of the technical and policy aspects of a recent Beira Lake Restoration Study which provides a practical blueprint for action by public sector agencies and the private developers and landowners around the lake. Finally, it offers an example of integrated planning and management of a natural environmental feature in an urban setting and an approach that could be applied in similar situations in Sri Lanka and other countries.
