Excellent baseline study, consensus‐building and the Low Carbon Society Blueprint for IskandarExcellent baseline study, consensus building and the Low Carbon Society Blueprint for IskandarMalaysia will help to develop an integrated climate resilient, low carbon framework for a city orregion.

Green cities or local carbon cities need to have a LOW CARBON SOCIETIES mindset/ behaviourand joint effort between different professions (planners, architects, engineers and relatedenvironmental professions)

Important to have an Asian and International platform for research collaboration betweenresearchers in LCS as well as capacity‐building opportunities.
