15 Minute Garden Project

Would you like to have a beautiful garden near your home?

Details Project progress Interested in donating space

A project to create small public parks scattered throughout Bangkok to provide everyone with access to green spaces within 15 minutes.

Why do we need it?
15 minutes to the park?

Lack of green space

Current green spaces in Bangkok
Only 2.6% of the total area
This is very low compared to other major cities in the world.

Pollution

Bangkok is facing severe air pollution problems. A 15-minute park will help absorb air pollution and provide clean air for the people.

Health and mind

The 15-minute park will provide people with a space to relax, exercise and do other activities.

Flood

A 15-minute garden could help retain rainwater and reduce flooding in Bangkok.

Green spaces accessible to all

Small area
Major impact

15 minute garden doesn't have to be a big space, it can be a small space.
For example, sports fields, sidewalks, or vacant areas can be developed.
It is a small public park.

Garden to neighborhood

More than just green space, a 15-minute park connected by
The shady walking path transforms Bangkok into a green city.
Ready for everyone to use at full efficiency.

Not just having a garden, but it must be
A garden that meets your needs

“Abandoned gardens” are a common problem
The main reason is that the park was created without the participation of "community people"
The solution is to design a diverse garden that meets the needs of "everyone"
