Established on 230 acres (93ha) of what was formerly  agricultural land, Botanical Garden or “Taman Botani” is within the  precincts of the Malaysia’s Federal Government Administrative Centre, Putrajaya. Located at the northern section of Precinct 1, this park is designed as an arcadia or a national sanctuary for Malaysian plant taxonomy as well as a centre for education and research. Developed as the “City in the Garden”, Putrajaya is a  pionering development that carefully combines modern  infrastructure and facilities with lush natural settings,  reflecting Malaysia’s vision of a fast-developing urban  society that nurtures, appreciates and successfully  co- exists with nature.

PUTRA BRIDGE

With a span of 435 metres, the Putra Bridge connects the Government Precinct to the Mixed Development Precint and links Putra Square (Dataran Putra) with the Persiaran Perdana. Architecturally, the bridge was inspired by the design of the famous Khaju Bridge in Isfahan, Iran. Khaju Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in Isfahan, Iran and has roused the admiration of travellers since the 17th century built by Shah Abbas II  on the foundations of an older bridge around 1650.

The upper level of the Bridge forms part of the Persiaran Perdana. This unique three-deck bridge provides vehicle, monorail and pedestrian access. Besides providing the link between Presint 1 and Presint 2 on the Core Island, it has been designed to be a special feature of Putrajaya.
