Good city planning and management are needed in order to reducethe number of cars on the road as we gear towards creating liveableand sustainable cities, said Ar. Victor Wong, Chairman of PertubuhanAkitek Malaysia (PAM) Sabah Chapter.He further said that the traffic jam in the State Capital is gettingworse despite proper planning and zoning in the Kota KinabaluLocal Plan 2020.He believed that the traffic snarls could be resolved if thedevelopment of residence, offices and commercial shops areclustered together within a short radius to enable the publictransport to be brought in and eliminate the needs for the citizens tobuy cars unnecessarily.“What is happening now in our cities is the lack of integration in theimplementation of the different developments and in bringing apublic transport system to serve the needs of the clusters,” saidVictor at the launching of•IPEX 2014•at the Sabah Trade Centrehere yesterday.The event was officiated by Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’sDepartment Datuk Edward Yong Oui Fah. Victor also urged theauthorities to discourage and review city planning that is based oncar ownership. “Instead, the city planning should provide analternative choice for its citizens to choose their mode oftransportation such as by foot, bicycles or an organised publictransport system,” he said.“We must consider the options to resolve our current woeseconomically, through good city planning and management whilewaiting for the monorail to materialise which need an enormousamount of financial resources,” advised Victor.He also suggested to the authorities to encourage mixeddevelopment in terms of housing, commercial, sports &recreational, education and industrial over a cluster of project sothat the public transport system within these cluster could beorganized accordingly.
