PROPOSAL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN FOR KAJANG
ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 7/ 40
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Kajang is located in the eastern part of Selangor, Malaysia. It is the district capital for Hulu
Langat. In the past few years, the number of population has grown rapidly. Its position is
strategic, in the middle of three major cities (Kuala Lumpur, Seremban and Putrajaya).
Sungai Chua is developed as the location gravity of growth in Kajang. The soon-to-be-
realised Klang Valley MRT station in Bandar Kajang will boost the property value in Sungai
Chua. Many major highway and expressway like Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway as a ring
road of Kajang, Cheras-Kajang Expressway, North-South Expressway (NSE) and Kajang-
Seremban Expressway were well connected Kajang to other locations. All these factors are
contributing to traffic congestion, ageing population and pollution. These scenarios require
the new sustainable urban design for Kajang.
1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENTTraffic congestion is a major problem occur in Kajang. The problem is mainly due to rapid
growing of the population in Kajang. The city of Kajang provides employment in the service
sector and manufacturing for 300,775 in 2007. The number is estimated will increase to
404,772 by year 2020.
Demographic trends, including an ageing population and employment are
contributed to the growing prosperities and wealth. This situation was increased the
demands for an improved the quality of life. By hook or by crook, more amenities are
needed to be providing to fulfill peoples satisfaction.
As of 2004, a few townships have been developed in Kajang, such as Taman Prima
Saujana, Sungai Chua, Taman Kajang Perdana. Lately, many high-end developments have
mushroomed in Kajang such as Twin Palms, Sri Banyan, Country Heights, Jade Hills and
Prima Paramount. However, with the soon-to-be-realised Klang Valley MRT station in
Bandar Kajang, this township seems not enough for Kajang population. Growth of smaller

and single person per households, are adding to demands for new housing and to the
pressures for suburbanisation in rural areas.
On the other hands, as other urbanization city, Kajang also features with
environmental issues. The transport of goods and mobility of people continues to grow
steadily every year. The pollution of the global environment is occurred due to rising
quantity of transport and industrial development.
Presently, no unused land left to develop in Kajang. Valuable agricultural land and
natural reserves of biodiversity are being lost. Besides that, the increasing land values and
property prices in cities also make housing in location that are accessible to livelihood
opportunities and services increasingly unaffordable for many sections of the population.
The activities in around a region whose width is getting smaller while becoming
more and more about the number of visitors. Futhermore , the traffic congestion will be
worse when it's a weekend, public holidays and festive days as more people are entering
the city for shopping and searching their needs.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The main objective of the study is to create Kajang as sustainable city. The objectives are
stated as follow:
a) To maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employmentb) To promoting the long term of health of the citizens, including addressing the
relationship between social and psychological well-being and the possibility of
experiencing elements of nature locally (particularly important for children)
c) To maintain the protection of the natural environment and conservation of naturalresources at the local and regional scale

2 STUDY METHODOLOGY
The study consists of four main activities (Figure 4). The main activities are data collection,
determination of urban issue, analysis using SimCity Simulation and proposal for sustainable
urban design. The simulation involves the existing condition and proposed plan.
Figure 4 Study Methodology
2.1 ANALYSIS USING SIMCITY 4 SIMULATION
SimCity is an open-ended city-building computer and console video game series. It is
published by Maxis (now a division of Electronic Arts). There are many type of personal
computer version for SimCity. However, in this proposal, SimCity 4 is used to simulate the
data.
The player (acting as mayor) is given a blank map to start with, and must expand
their city with the budget they have. As the city matures, depending on how large their city
is, the player may get to place government and other special buildings such as a mayor's
house. The player also has to supply services to their citizens including health, education,
safety, parks and leisure. Inadequate funding of these services can lead to strikes. The

primary source of income is taxation. Placing certain buildings like military bases or federal
prisons can produce income as well.
2.1.1 INTRODUCTION
SimCity 4 (SC4) places the player in the role of a mayor tasked with populating and
developing tracts of lands into cities, while fulfilling the needs of fellow Sims who live there.
Cities are now located in regions, which are divided into segments, each of which can be
developed. Buildings are classified into several wealth levels, zone types, and building size
stages, which are affected by the region's population and the city's condition.
The game allows players to create a region of land, design and build a settlement
which can grow into a city, while maintaining the happiness of the citizens and keeping a
stable budget. Different areas of land can be zoned as commercial, industrial, or residential
development. Public transport and utilities have to be built and maintained. For the success
of a city, have to manage its finances, environment, and quality of life for its residents.
2.1.2 ZONING
First of all, the player must define zones, each having limits on the kind of development that
can occur there. Development of the zones is not performed directly by the player, but
happens when certain conditions are met, such as power supply, adequate transport links or
acceptable tax level. The residential zones, in green, provide housing for Sims. The
commercial zones, were found in blue, provide shops and offices, while the industrial zones,
in yellow, provide factories, laboratories and farms. There are three different densities. The
low density is defined for small buildings, medium density for low to mid-sized buildings,
and high density for anything up to large tower blocks.

2.1.3 MODE
Modes can be divided into three consist of God Mode, Mayor Mode, and MySim Mode.
Mayor and MySim modes is available after establishing a city. The god mode becomes
available before establishing a city, as well as after.
The first is the God Mode allows players to trigger disasters, including tornadoes and
earthquakes among several others. God Mode also gives the player tools to reconcile the
borders of the cities, to fix any discrepancies created during the terraforming process, and a
day/night cycle adjustment, so that one can make it always day, always night, or alternate
between day or night in accordance with the in-universe game clock.
The second of the modes is the Mayor Mode, where the actual city building is
conducted. Several advisors may give advice to the player on how to best manage a city.
Players can build transportation networks such as roads, streets, avenues, highways,
railways, subway lines, and bus stations. Players can also terraform and plant trees.
Other activities that include in Mayor Mode consist of building civic buildings such as
schools, hospitals, parks, police stations,jails, fire stations. Settlements also need public
utilities such as electricity with more or less polluting and more or less expensive types of
power stations, water pumps, water purification plants, and waste management services.
The final mode is the MySim mode which enables players to create user-defined
Sims, which will live and work in the city the player has created. When moving a Sim into a
city, the player can choose from a selection of characters or import others from The Sims.
Sims can be killed by certain disasters or catastrophic events, leave the city if conditions areunfavorable, or die of old age.
2.1.4 THE OUTPUT
The City was built in SimCity based on existing circumstance in Kajang. As indicated in Figure
5 to Figure 7, the Kajangs landmark such as Masjid Kajang, Stadium Kajang, Hospital Kajang,
Majlis Perbandaran Kajang and Kajang Police Station were included in the simulation.

3.0 PROPOSED SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN
3.1 AIM OF THE PROPOSAL
The aim of the proposal in sustainable urban design is as stated below:
i. creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive placesii. promotes equitable economic developmentiii. conserves land
iv. looks at towns and cities in relation to one another and their hinterlandsv. ensures the strategic location of new developments in relation to the natural
environment and transport systems
vi. ensures development is mixed and of appropriate densityvii. The strategy also focuses on making optimal use by human for the infrastructure of
the city, particularly transport infrastructure, through compact, mixed-use and dense
settlement structures enabling effective use of public transport and private car-
based movement systems and minimizing vehicular movements
3.2SUSTANABLE URBAN DESIGNKajang is a compact city. No more development can be done owing to the high
densities of population, commercial and industrial. Build the city inward is the best
solution to sustain the city. This intention can be achieve by reusing already develop area,
respecting and enhancing the character of the City and improve the public transport.
The proposed program Urban Renewal for Kajang Town from sites recovery
brownfield in Bangi Town to accomodate the needs of Local Planning for Kajang area
until year 2020. The Vertical development proposal for the development of existing cities
especially at Bandar Baru Bangi-Kajang area (refer picture 30). Thus. the organized urban
-

PROPOSAL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN FOR KAJANG
ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 26/ 40
design will be create in order to facilitate the population because all the facilities are
provided within close distance. Strengthening the city limits can also be done through the
provision of building schematic colour, building texture and lighting of buildings. The hard
scape and soft landscape have different character for every settlement centre or block
planning that were set can distinguish clearly an urban area.
The urban design issues such as traffic congestion and environmental problem can be
solve by closing the road from allowing private transport entering the City. Only public
transports have permission to go into the City. More park, porous car park and pedestrian
walkway will be built to create green space area.
Public transport has to be enhanced in order to attract the users. Better services can
be offered by providing dedicated bus lane in the City and giving more licence to the bus
operator. Therefore, level of service, waiting time and travel time can be improved.
Outside the city, more interchange station and parking space shall be built.

3.2.1 SUSTAINABLE DEFINITIONAccording to the WCED, sustainable development is defined as a development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs. It is maintaining a delicate balance between the human need to
improve lifestyles, and preserving natural resources and ecosystems, on which we and
future generations depend. Sustainable development implies economic growth together
with the protection of environmental quality. The essence of this form of development is a
stable relationship between human activities and the natural world, which does not
diminish the prospects for future generations to enjoy a quality of life at least as good as our

3.2.2 QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENTSustainable development is generally thought to have three components which are
related to the quality of life in a community, consist of the economic, social and
environmental systems. These components make up the community are providing a
healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents, present and future. It is the
ability to make development which respects the relationship between the three "E's" -
economy, ecology and equity. Economic activity should serve the common good, be self-
renewing, and build local assets and self-reliance. Ecology considers humans are part of
nature, nature has limits, and communities are responsible for protecting and building
natural assets. The equity means the opportunity given for full participation in all activities,
benefits, and decision-making of a society.

Figure 30 Sustainability Development
As this Figure 30 illustrates, the economy exists entirely within society, because all
parts of the human economy require interaction among people. However, society is much
more than just the economy. Friends and families, music and art, religion and ethics are
important elements of society, but are not primarily based on exchanging goods and
services. Society, in turn, exists entirely within the environment. Our basic requirements
such as air, food and water are come from the environment, as do the energy and raw
materials for housing, transportation and the products we depend on.
The environment surrounds society. At an earlier point in human history, the
environment largely determined the shape of society. Today the fact is change. Human
activity is reshaping the environment at an ever increasing rate. The parts of the
environment unaffected by human activity are getting smaller all the time. However,
because people need food, water and air to survive, society can never be larger than the
environment.
Sustainability requires managing all households, individual, community, national, and
global in the ways that ensure that our economy and society can continue to exist without
destroying the natural environment on which we all depend. Sustainable communities
acknowledge that there are limits to the natural, social and built systems upon which we
depend.
Sustainable production is the creation of goods and services using processes andsystems that are non-polluting, conserving of energy and natural resources, economically
efficient, safe and healthful for workers, communities, and consumers and socially and
creatively rewarding for all working people. Principles of sustainable production
products and services including safe and ecologically sound throughout their life cycle; as
appropriate, designed to be durable, repairable, readily recycled, compostable, or easily
biodegradable; and also produced and packaged using the minimal amount of material and
energy possible. Processes are designed and operated such that:
-

PROPOSAL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN FOR KAJANG
ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 29/ 40
i. wastes and ecologically incompatible by products are reduced, eliminated orrecycled on-site;
ii. chemical substances or physical agents and conditions that present hazards tohuman health or the environment are eliminated;
iii. energy and materials are conserved, and the forms of energy and materials usedare most appropriate for the desired ends;
iv. work spaces are designed to minimize or eliminate chemical, ergonomic andphysical hazard.
In a sustainable community, resource consumption is balanced by resources
assimilated by the ecosystem. The sustainability of a community is largely determined bythe web of resources providing its food, fiber, water, and energy needs and by the ability of
natural systems to process its wastes. A community is unsustainable if it consumes
resources faster than they can be renewed, produces more wastes than natural systems can
process or relies upon distant sources for its basic needs.
Sustainable society is defined as a society whose long term prospect for continuing
to exist is good. Such a society would be characterized by an emphasis on preserving the
environment, developing strong peaceful relationships between people and nations, and an
emphasis on equitable distribution of wealth.
Education is an essential tool for achieving sustainability. People around the world
recognize that current economic development trends are not sustainable and that public
awareness, education, and training are key to moving society toward sustainability. Beyond
that, there is little agreement.
3.2.3 INTEGRATING TRANSPORT AND DEVELOPMENTRoads are an integral part of the transport system, essential for the efficient
functioning of the greater Kajang area economy. They provide vital arteries for the
movement and operation of the commercial life. It also meets important social objectives,
by providing access to activities and links between communities.

Planning and transport integration is a fundamental part of the strategy, which
should reduce car use need. In order to build Kajang City free from any private car, a
suitable interchange station has to be provided outside the City. Hentian Kajang can be
upgraded to be one of the interchange stations. However, more parking spaces are required
to satisfy the present demand.
3.2.4 MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DUE TO SURGE IN TRAVEL DEMANDSMeasures to reduce the environmental impact of road traffic in terms of air
pollution, noise and carbon dioxide emissions need to form part of the strategy. Many of the
measures set out elsewhere in the strategy provide fundamental contributions to this
objective. The authority will continue to monitor these parameters, in conjunction with the
relevant agencies, and will seek the implementation of appropriate measures, where
necessary, to comply with applicable standards.
Travel demand management measures need to support the environmental and
economic objectives of the strategy, and targets related to distance travelled by car and
share of travel by car. Management of demand for road use can be broadly consist of :-a. Better development planning to manage travel demand and reduce the need
to travel;
b. On street parking controls;c. Control of access onto certain strategic roads at congested timesd. Dedication of road space to certain transport modes, whose users are higher
up in the road user hierarchy.
Better development planning to manage travel demand recommended planning
measures that can reduce the amount of travel by car include:
a. the consolidation of housing, employment and retail developments into theKajang area
b. the location of office and retail developments in central areas where accessby public transport, cycling and walking is good

ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 31/ 40
c. restrictions on parking provisions at key destinations to encourage publictransport use
d. the location of residential developments on public transport corridors thatprovide good access to central areas
Traffic and on-street parking control measures can address issues arising from excess
demand for road space on individual road corridors. Examples of control Measures include:
i. Ramp Metering, which is the control of access onto a dual carriageway ormotorway corridor, through the provision of traffic lights on the entry slip
road which respond to the traffic conditions on the corridor
ii. Variable speed limits that allow speed limits to be dynamically set to suittraffic conditions, so that flow is maintained, avoiding stop-start conditions
that arise from driver behaviour when congestion limits speeds below the
roads usual limit
iii. Hard Shoulder Running - opening up the hard shoulder to moving traffic onmotorways, or dual carriageways with motorway characteristics to maintain
journey time reliability and smooth traffic flows, at busy times;
iv. Dedication of lanes to particular transport modes such as public transportlanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes or freight lanes; and
v. On-street car parking restrictions.
Parking charges and levies parking charges is desirable to charge for parking in these
areas to increase turnover of spaces, making it easier for those who need to drive to find a
parking space. Demand management through a workplace parking levy could play a
significant role in reducing car commuting. There is potential for levies to be extended to
other types of destinations such as out-of-town shopping centres. For the measure to be
most effective, a mechanism is required that charges the individual user of the space each
time the space is used. Road access control, parking restrictions and parking charges address
issues due to excess demand on individual roads or individual corridors.

3.2.5 DEVELOPMENT ACCESS: PEDESTRIANS, DISABLED PEOPLE, CYCLISTS, PUBLICTRANSPORT, PRIVATE TRANSPORT
In providing a sustainable transport system capable of meeting the needs of the
region, it is essential that an appropriate balance is achieved between the allocation of road
space to the motor car and the prioritisation of road space for pedestrians, cyclists, public
transport. Transportation system should be more environmentally friendly.
In order to achieve a more sustainable balance between the use of the private car
and other transport modes it will be necessary to increase the allocation of road space and
traffic signal priority in favour of public transport and walking and cycling modes. Without
such a rebalance, non-car modes of transport will not be able to offer the level of service
that is essential to attract motorists out of their cars to use more sustainable public
transport or cycling or walking alternatives.
Clear and consistent information for road users is essential. This includes direction,
signage as well as live journey information, including notification of disruptions. The
provision of live travel information can assist in maintaining the resilience and reliability of
the road network, by enabling drivers to plan alternative routes or means of travel.
Information will be displayed at appropriate points on the strategic road network and
should also be provided for dissemination to third party providers of travel information,
such as radio stations and travel information websites. Live travel information will include:
i. expected journey times to key destinations on the strategic road network,based on current and historical traffic conditions;
ii. parking availability at appropriate points on the approach to larger towncentres;
iii. parking availability and public transport journey times on the approach tostrategic park and ride sites.
Strategies for on-street waiting, loading and parking are part of local traffic
management plans and local authorities. They should undertake a comprehensive review of

uses of kerbside space, aimed at maximising the efficiency of allocations of space and time
to different users, in line with strategy objectives and hierarchy of provision at specific
locations. There is also a need to determine adequate overall kerb-space allocations for
special uses in Designated towns and Designated Districts, addressing additional bus stops
and bus lay-over spaces; coach parking and drop-off/pick up; taxi ranks and feeders;
permanent delivery bays; disabled parking; car club spaces; pay and Display; and other on-
street requirements.
Figure 31 Public Transport Facilities
Increased enforcement of parking and moving traffic offences is important. To
protect the function of roads and streets, coordinated and expanded enforcement over on -
street offences is required, including illegal kerbside parking and overstaying, waiting and
loading offences (including at bus stops), taxi over-ranking and unauthorised waiting, bus
lane and tramway encroachment, ignoring traffic bans, vehicles failing to stop at traffic
lights or pedestrian crossings and overtaking and speeding on local roads. Futhermore, the
streets are designed to support a variety of activities, for example through the emphasis on
the elements of opiate traffic (traffic calming) and design a way to maximize the volume and
speed of vehicles, especially private vehicles.
In order to ensure more effective enforcement on roads and streets in urban areas,
consideration should be given to the introduction of legislation to enable civil enforcement
through local councils.

3.2.6 PARKING AND RIDEThe increasing of private car and limited car parking space in Kajang city center
especially for a centralized parking such as multi storage building forced a user s factor to
park their car besides the road and causing traffic jammed. The parking is influenced by a
desire for environmental sustainability and improvements in urban design.
Figure 31
Figure 32
A fundamental element of Kajang transport plan is provision of park and ride to
serve Kajang with the balancing park and ride needs with other modes uses. Figure 31
indicate a park consider walkability & aesthetics of parking areas. The design and secure
cycle parking racks and storage shows in figure32 is ideal for indoor and outdoor covered
spaces sustainable transport plans for schools, businesses, councils and many others.
Planning permission will only be granted where development provides:
(i) no more car parking than the maximum in the adopted standards(ii) provides parking for disabled persons in accordance with the standards;(iii) at least the level of secure cycle parking in accordance with the standards(iv) lorry and motor cycle parking in accordance with the standards

3.2.7 URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLESCompatible with existing landforms and natural features, retain, and where possible
enhance important existing urban spaces, townscape, parkland, natural or historical
features; respect the existing layout of buildings within the street space, integrate into the
local community
3.2.8 SAFETY AND SECURITYNow Kajang area is lack of security facilities whether facilities of Fire Station and
Police Station is not sufficient and didnt reach the standards. Comparisons are made
against members of the police to population ratio of one policeman found the population is
1:3205 compared with the standards of 1:200 (MpKJ Local Planning Draft, 2020).
Good planning and environmental design can contribute to reducing the opportunity
for crime to occur and peoples fear of crime. Through the design and layout for Kajang
development a sense of community can be reinforced, investment encouraged and crime
and vandalism deterred. Natural surveillance is a term used to describe how, through the
layout and design of development, public spaces are made safer.
In this case, the Kajang development will only be permitted where it provides:
a. natural surveillance of any public space;b. safe and secure locations for any associated car and cycle parkingc. safe and secure public routes which seek to minimise both actual and perceived
opportunities for criminal activity; and
d. satisfactory lighting.
3.2.9 LANDSCAPE AND BIODIVERSITYLandscape schemes should be seen as an opportunity to retain, enhance or create
habitats and they should be considered at the early stages of the design process. Integrating
Kajang development into its landscape setting can reduce its impact on nature and reinforce
local natural diversity as well as distinctiveness. Existing landscape features include trees,
hedgerows and walls on site. The wider landscape setting of a sites topography, rivers,
streams and green corridors should also be taken into account in order to contribute the
overall landscape and biodiversity of an area, gardens in areas of high density development
with a lack of open space.

The attention needs to be paid to enhancing the environment along road and rail
corridors and at the gateways to the city centre. Landscape schemes accompanying major
development can also help to create innovative, attractive, stimulating and safe open space.
Through the existing in Local Plan, components of local environmental quality are to
increase a green spaces and attractive streets and buildings with low levels of traffic, noise
and pollution. Poor local environmental quality can detract from city living and act as a
barrier to an urban renaissance. The protection of water resources from potentially harmful
effects development is a key part of ensuring a sustainable development. The Local Plan has
an important role to play in reduce activities development which is affect to the quality of
water supplies or increase flood risk or be at direct risk from flooding itself.

Presently, there are several efforts that a necessary to curb deterioration of
environmental quality for the river corridor through the development propose and
restoration work along the river corridor such as provision of public facilities, urban design,
as well as the provision of a pedestrian and river beautification program. Along the
waterfront area should be restored and given an injection and retraction of soft landscape
elements such as the provision of endowment, suspension bridges and an attractive
walkway. Development projects that will come should the concept of river front 'to keep the
beauty and quality of the river.
3.2.10 RENEWABLE ENERGYRenewable sources of energy - wind power, solar power (thermal and photovoltaic), hydro-
electric power, tidal power, geothermal energy and biomass - are an essential alternative to
fossil fuels. Using these sources helps not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from

ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 37/ 40
energy generation and consumption but also to reduce the European Union's (EU)
dependence on imports of fossil fuels (in particular oil and gas).
In order to reach the ambitious target of a 20% share of energy from renewable sources in
the overall energy mix, the EU plans to focus efforts on the electricity, heating and cooling
sectors and on biofuels. In transport, which is almost exclusively dependent on oil, the
Commission hopes that the share of biofuels in overall fuel consumption will be 10% by
2020.

(Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and your vote will affect its score on Malaysia.com.
3.2.12 WATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGESungai Langat is 120km long and originates from the Main Range. In the year 2000,
the Selangor State Government and the Department of Environment (DOE) adopted Sungai
Langat in an effort to preserve the river and to improve the river's water quality through
extensive clean-up operations, controlling the discharge of effluents into the river as well as
conducting frequent checks on the level of water quality. The water quality for Sungai
Langat is currently rated as Class III (pollute). Deterioration of water quality in Sungai Langat
is closely Sg. Balak related to the location and position of the sources of pollution of river
water such as residential areas and industrial Catchment area Sungai Langat. Without
preventive measures and improvement of water quality, it would have implications for the
water pollution in the river basins downstream.
Water quality has become an increasingly significant issue as surface run-off from
urban areas results in the contamination of the watercourse. A polluted watercourse is
extremely difficult to resolve and is an important issue that drainage systems must take into
consideration.
Runoff from urban areas and roads can have a significant impact on water quality
and may exacerbate flooding downstream. Consideration should be given to how the
additional development will impact on river/wetland habitats or species with regard to
-

39/40
PROPOSAL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN FOR KAJANG
ASH PLANNING SDN. BHD. Page 38/ 40
water quality and drainage. Proper design and planning can avoid or minimise the impact.
Where appropriate the use of Sustainable Drainage measures will be encouraged. The
Kajang authority used four general methods of control which are filter strips and swales,
filter drains and permeable surfaces, infiltration devices, wetlands, basins and ponds to
ensure that the control of surface water run-off and water quality is improved. The controls
should be located as close as possible to where the rainwater falls, providing attenuation for
the runoff. However the extant of existing urban drainage systems can cause problems of
flooding, pollution or damage to the environment and are not proving to be sustainable.

4.0 SUMMARY
4.1 RECOMMENDATION
In theory, development that is sustainable and not damaging to the planet is very possible.
However, in reality there are a lot of challenges involved. The current urban issue in Kajang
include the increasing of population, traffic congestion and environment impact.
The urban design issues such as traffic congestion and environmental problem can
be solve by closing the road from allowing private transport entering the City. Only public
transports have permission to go into the City. More park, porous car park and pedestrian
walkway will be built to create green space area.
4.2 CONCLUSION
In addition to social, economic, and environmental health, sustainable communities
are about the participation of all elements of society in decision-making processes. Local
governments can help their communities to become more sustainable, but they cannot do it
without a mandate from, and the participation of the local community.
Road safety and accident reduction measures are typically inexpensive to
implement. However, they provide significant social and economic benefits. There are a
variety of ways to improve road safety, including resolving road layout problems, road user
education, enforcement of traffic regulations and road and vehicle engineering measures.
