Anzali Lagoon Waterfront
The redesign of the lagoon edge in Bandar Anzali, bringing together walkways, boat jetties and bird habitat.
Anzali Lagoon is one of Iran’s most important habitats for migratory birds, yet within the city its edge had been lined with concrete walls and car parks.
A soft edge
Sections of concrete wall were removed and replaced with planted slopes of reeds and aquatic plants that both absorb flood water and clean it. A raised timber boardwalk brings people to the water’s edge without disturbing the habitat.
Tour-boat jetties were consolidated in one place, and a small bird-watching tower was built at the end of the walk.
