Some urban rivers have their respective heritage value and need to be preserved. However, enforcement of river pollution had not given much effect to improvement due to human attitude and behaviour. The purpose of this research is to present an analysis to revitalize the urban river at Precinct 7, River of Life Project, Kuala Lumpur. Through analysis of the precedent studies, the rationale will then be compared to suits the most suitable and relevant proposal. The study revealed that the historic buildings along the river and the river itself should be maintained and integrated to preserve heritage value.
