PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION RESIDING IN URBAN AREAS IN 2014, SELECTED COUNTRIES

Cities now play a

more significant

role than every

before as our

home, as engines

of the national

economy, as a

consumer of

resources

Rapid urbanization :–

Year 1970 - 26.8% of total population are in urban areas

(2.79 million of urban dwellers).

Year 2010 - 71% of total population are in urban areas

(20.29 million of urban dwellers).

Forecast 2025 - 80% of total population are in urban areas

(27.30 million of urban dwellers).

With an average of 75% of GDP concentrated in the cities, they

are seen as engines of economic growth.

Economy growth concentrated in the main conurbation –

Greater Kuala Lumpur, Georgetown and Johor Bahru.

CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO TRANSFORMATION

Connectivity is keyProvision of infrastructure and basic facilities should be "people-

centric" that meets the needs of all segments of society

transit and land-use integration

TRANSFORMING INTO LIVEABLE CITIES

1. Distinctive local characters

2. Excellent physical and virtual connectivity

3. Good mix of development density and uses

4. Vital and high quality public realm : Parks and community spaces.

5. Placing a value to everyone in community : Dialogue & listening

6. Affordability and choices : multiple functions

7. Attractive business environment and diverse economic opportunities

Smart City Typology

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND LAND USE PLANNING

• Walkable Communities

(Transforms communities to be more

cohesive, healthy, safe, offers first

and last mile options)

• Increased transportation options

• Creating streetscape

• Mixed land uses & compact development

(Transforms communities to be more

vibrant, less dependent on cars)

• Safe and inviting pedestrian corridors

•Other first and last mile options

Liveability Relationships between physical form and social interaction Not over-taken by cars

*Cities designed around automobiles, we had got it wrong

Low Speeds Traffic Calming Walkability Image of places Boulevards Intertwined systems Streets, transit, pedestrians uses, environment in fusion TODs Encourage public transport use and differentiate the development from urban

sprawl.

Public Transport Issues pertaining Supporting Facilities

Supporting facilities are not sufficiently considered in transportation system

Coordination between supporting facilities and transportation system missing in

transportation development sector

Supporting amenities provided are not fully utilized

• Supporting facilities are not provided• Supporting facilities are not properly

maintained

• Design not suitable with local situation• Lack of urban image formation• Lack of Quality control in providing supporting facilities• Local authorities do not implement guidelines provided

• supporting facilities placed at unsuitable location

•Provisions for the disabled, young children and the elderly

World Economic Forum – Global Risk 2015

East Asia and the Pacific is perceived as least prepared for interstate

conflict and failure of urban planning.

FAILURE OF URBAN PLANNING – A GLOBAL RISK IN ASIA

Public transport planning must not be done in isolation

Check its inter-relationships between landuse planning and national policies

High population density has a direct impact on the capacity of public transport network

Transport planning should be highly integrated with landuse planning/urban development

Mission supporting public transport is clear in national strategies

Integrate Landuse Planning and Public Transport Planning

SPAD ON THE MOVE! : RAIL

• Rail network continues to be the backbone of Malaysia’s public transport system.

• 2014 annual ridership 230 million.

• the new Electric Train Service (ETS) has transformed travel patterns in the west Coast.

• Gemas -Johor Bahru double tracking

• Rail usage is also the fastest growing among all modes of urban public transportation

• MRT1 and MRT2

• LRT : Public-centric commuting within Kuala Lumpur

• The (HSR) High Speed Rail and the Rapid Transit System (RTS) will transform socio-economic growth,

enhancing business and leisure travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore

• “Journey Planner”.

• Integrated Terminals

• Park and Ride

SPAD ON THE MOVE! : BUSES

The Interim Stage Bus Support Fund sustains the operations of 175 stage bus operators

and 659 routes. This has benefited more than 330,000 passengers per day

First BRT system in Malaysia, a 7 kilometre elevated track from Sunway Setia Jaya to

USJ 17 Subang Jaya

Buses remain a primary mode of transport in areas that are not covered by other public transit routes. Stage bus annual ridership for 2014 is 68 million for areas other than Kuala Lumpur, and 155 million for Kuala Lumpur

SPAD’s Stage Bus Transformation Programme (SBST) investment in key cities including Kangar, Seremban, Ipoh, and Kuala Terengganu to improve the rakyat’s accessibility

Bus Network Revamp (BNR) in 2015 by increasing bus capacity in congested routes and deploying new routes in underserved areas and neighbourhoods to drive a wider bus network

Transformation of lifestyles and livelihoods

PUBLIC TRANSPORT : HOW DOES IT TRANFORM THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE WORK AND PLAY?

Keywords:

• Improved accessibility to businesses and workplace, education, health and recreation, shopping and improve social cohesion. Strategic and local wealth creation. Park n Ride

• TOD’s, mixed development, high-density, avoid urban sprawl, close knit, less private car use

• More commuting, urban-rural continuum, opens up rural areas, rural areas support urban areas. More attention to rural public transport.

• ETS, transformation in travel behaviour. Inter-city mode switch.

• Housing and access to housing. To avoid mismatch in locations of public housing and Public Transport Provision.

• Getting urban communities together.

• Resilient Cities, Inclusive Cities

• International Visions and Local Needs, First mile and last mile, Feeder Services?

• Regulatory tools, road pricing

• Sustainable Transport/Low carbon cities

• Technological Interventions
