Abstract
This chapter discusses two boundary markers of the city in the form of gateways and bridges—which can be argued as a form of gateway—over land and water. The discussion centres around how such markers have disappeared as identities of cities in South East Asia and that these urban elements constitute a form of land-water symbolism which reflect all the eco-urbanist elements discussed in previous chapters—mountain, roof-forms, pillared structures—but which have been drastically affected by historical events and evolution. This chapter presents changes as part of the palimpsest layering of sample cities and discusses the ecological themes in the original profiles and symbolic expressions of these urban elements.
