Thailand introduces a regenerative government complex that blends architecture, nature, and clean energy into a new global model.
Dhanarak Asset Development (DAD) has officially unveiled the “21st Century Government Complex,” a national milestone that redefines how architecture, technology and nature coexist within the public sector. Spanning 378 rai (60 hectares), the Government Complex Bangkok is developed under the vision Regenerative Government Complex Bangkok – “A Low-Carbon City Working with Nature,” a model for future cities where people, clean energy and the environment interact in harmony.
As global cities grapple with climate challenges, Bangkok is transforming from its bureaucratic core outward. The Government Complex Bangkok on Chaeng Watthana Road now serves as Thailand’s prototype for a “regenerative city”, an urban ecosystem that breathes, adapts and generates its own clean energy. The project aligns with the country’s Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy Model and national goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
The transformation is driven by four core strategies that reshape urban development from the ground up –
1. From Cars to Feet – A 205-meter Skywalk links the Pink Line MRT Train to the Complex, supported by EV shuttle buses and a network of green canopy walks that prioritise pedestrians.
2. From Grey to Green – Former parking decks have been transformed into green terraces that capture rainwater and absorb heat.
3. From Concrete to Biodiversity – More than 5,500 native trees from over 100 species restore urban cooling corridors and pollinator habitats.
4. From Energy Consumer to Producer – The complex now generates over 3.9 million kWh of solar electricity annually, saving THB 16 million per year and reducing CO₂ emissions by more than 2,000 tons.
Together, these elements show how infrastructure can cool the city, manage water sustainably and generate clean power while enhancing public life.
Dr Nalikatibhag Sangsnit, President of DAD stated, “Our mission is to prove that the public sector can genuinely lead the sustainability agenda. The Government Complex Bangkok is not just a cluster of office buildings, it’s a prototype of a low-carbon society where architecture, people and nature thriving together.”
Both areas are now officially open to the public aimed at enhancing the quality of life for everyone within the complex including government officials, employees, vendors and visitors. The initiative also supports Associate Professor Dr Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok’s “15-minute Park” policy and the citywide campaign to plant one million trees.
