Kajang has transformed itself from a small old town to a big modern town by designing

and developing new township such as Bandar Baru Bangi and Bandar Seri Putra as well

as extending its CBD (central business district) such as extension to Sungai Chua.

However, its centre is inadequately transformed and most of its residences are working in

Kuala Lumpur and other external areas. Write your vision and plan for Kajang to

transform its town centre and to be a self reliance town. You may use sketches to enhance

your vision and plan.

Urban renewal is a program of land redevelopment in areas of moderate to high density

urban land use. Urban renewal involves the relocation of businesses, the demolition of

structures, the relocation of people, and the use ofeminent domain (government purchase of

property for public purpose) as a legal instrument to take private property for city-initiated

development projects.

Vision

Producing a self reliance town with a higher quality of living in Kajang that make up the community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents, present and future.

Plans:

1. Transforming into a more compact city

• Vibrant,tansit-supportive,mixed use centres and corridors

• Transit-supported landuse Framework

• Livable and vibrant City Centre

2. Integrating transport and development

3. Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places

4. Waste Management

5. Renewable Energy

• Livable and vibrant City Centre

Reinforce the downtown’s position as Kajang City principle business Centre,preimiere

urban living environment and centres for arts,culture,recreation and tourism

2) Integrating transport and development

A good traffic management is aimed to optimizing the existing infrastructure and improving

the flow capacity at the city. Strategies that can be applied in Kajang City centre are:

i. Redirecting the movement pattern of using the private transport to the public

transport and also improving the service for public transport such as subway, busses

and taxi

.

ii. Upgrading the road systems by widening and implementing the smart grid system

for the transportation systems.

iii. Making a new Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRT):

BRT is a high performance of public transportation bus service that combines the bus

lanes with high quality bus station. Traffic light will be delayed for oncoming buses. It

will decrease the amount of time between stops. A part from that, a computer chip inside

the bus signal will sensor on the road. Then, it will alert the passengers at the next

station if the bus running on time. Besides, fair is paid by using prepaid systems. So it

can reduce the waiting time at bus stop and waiting platform are elevated to allow for

quicker entry and exit to the bus. After that, the busses will travel in their own lanes

which keep the bus system independent to the congested traffic.

iv. Subway or underground Metro systems Usage.

It is because, we can minimizing the usage of the land use. A part from that, by using

subway we can reduce the emission of carbon monoxide and also reducing the noise

pollution in the city. This metro system is an electric passanger transport system with

high capacity and high frequency of services that totally independent from other

traffic, road or pedestrian. The location of the subway connecting the residential area

to the commercial area at the centre of the city and also to the Sungai Langat region.

This Subway also linkage to Balakong which is industrial area. Currently under

progress,is the Klang Valley MRT from Sungai Buloh to Kajang.

3) Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places

Langat River Basin – Project River Of Life Part II.

Continuing project river of life part II at Langat River. The objective of this project is to

transform the Langat River into a vibrant and liveable waterfront with high economic value.

This transformation is divided into three components that are river cleaning, beautification

and river development.

a. River cleaning.

The objective of the River Cleaning is to clean and improve the water quality from

its current Class III until Class V water quality that not suitable for body contact

transform to Class IIb that suitable for body contact recreational usage.

b. Beautification.

The objective of the River Beautification is to beautify the river to increase the

economic vialibility of the area.

c. River development.

The beautification works will spur economic investments into the areas immediately

surrounding the river corridor. To catalyse development along the corridor, potential

government land will be identified and tendered out to private developers through

competitive bidding.

2. This project may increase the monthly income for this city cause of the

beautification and the development. The beautification of the river and the

development beside the river can be as tourist attraction for this city which promotes

equitable economic development

By Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places an equitable

economic development is promoted

New Building Development

I. Business Hall

Kajang Business Hall will join several other governments and private developers that have

constructed green roofs as a way of capturing greenhouse gases, easing water runoff and

potentially lowering building energy costs. Green roofs is located on a roof below the

business incubation centre’s overhead walkway, the greenery has become an attractive place

for workers to relax. The green roof’s insulation has abilities and impact on energy costs.

II. Hotel budget

It doesn’t take a luxurious property or budget to build in sustainability, but the Riverview

Hotel is a strong example of how luxury and green building can work hand in hand in

the hospitality industry. The design of the hotel will decreasing the hotel’s environmental

footprint by reducing waste and promoting energy and water efficiency.The hotels are

unique because of the high volume of individual guest rooms, each of which requires its

own supply of energy and water known as compartmentalization even when the room is

empty. To combat wastefulness, the project team installed individual guest

room controls which setback the heating ventilation and air conditioning system and turn off

the lights when rooms are unoccupied. Another cool feature of the hotel is its U-shaped

design, facing out toward the beach. Not only does this intelligent use of passive-solar

design maximize ocean views and breezes for hotel guests, but it also increases the amount

of natural daylight entering common areas and guest rooms. This reduces the need for

artificial lighting and creates a healthier indoor environment for guests. All in all, a look at

the Riverview Hotel’s sustainability efforts reveals multiple takeaways for prospective green

hotels

III. Conventional Center

The concept of this building is zero carbon footprint. There, things take a turn for the

higher-technology that sophisticated heating and cooling systems that that use minimal

amounts of juice, all linked up to a central computer that monitors environmental

conditions in real time and adjusts electricity consumption accordingly. When the

building is stuffed with guests, it even traps their radiating heat and water vapor to be

stored for later use.

4) Waste management

i. Recycling

A proposal to place an environmentally friendly Recycling Centre focusing

on reusing today’s household or domestic waste materials to preserve tomorrow’s

resources and to promote recycle in our city. They are green, reduce energy wastage

and the most important thing is they are fully functional as well as any other

building. The aim of this recycling centre is to minimize natural resource use while

enhancing social and economic benefits. It is designed to increase the understanding

and appreciation of the environment among the public. The design approach of this

project is to produce an environmental aware community by exposing them to the

process and the importance of recycling. Interactive space among public and

learning space to educate the public are the main concern of the project. Therefore,

the space program will be designed for interaction and education purposed.Thus, a

recycling center should be more than a recycling center in or to promote and educate

the community about recycling. In this project, the recycling center should hold a

commercial area selling recycled product, a place for monthly junk yard sale for the

community to trade or exchange their unwanted useable house hold or furniture, a

gallery and even a cafe.

ii. Landfill

Provide a landfill to dump the excess waste from household and

commercial area. Sanitary landfills are sites where waste is isolated from the

environment until it is safe. It is considered when it has completely degraded

biologically, chemically and physically. In high-income countries, the level of

isolation achieved may be high.

There are financial and other benefits to sites with long operating lifetimes.

Landfill sites to sanitary status will also help in capturing the bio-gas as a source of

renewable energy. As we know that, landfill will generate main gases that are

methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Capturing and positive

utilization of the biogas is not only environmentally beneficial but also economically

attractive. The methane gases produce naturally from landfill site. The main gases

from methane can convert to energy then convert to electricity. So, we can produce

our own electricity from the landfill without have any cost.

5) Renewable energy

• Solar Power Plant

Energy supplies for our entire city are solar power farm. This kind of

renewable energy has many advantages than disadvantages. To make our city

become the sustainable environment, we have to provide this thing of energy supply.

The major advantage of solar power is that no pollution is created in the process of

generating electricity. Environmentally it the most Clean and Green energy. Solar

Energy is clean, renewable and sustainable, helping to protect our environment.
