THE CITY OF

The name of our city is called Asgardian. The city of Asgardian is

located in Ranau, Sabah. The reason for this city to be built in

Ranau is because that in the year 2015 an earthquake with the

magnitude of 6.0 hit Sabah causing major damage to almost the

entire state especially in the town of Ranau. That is why the

Malaysian government planned for a proposal of a city that will be

resilient to earthquakes to be built. This is also the reason the main

focus of this city is its ability to be earthquake resilient. This cities

earthquake resilient features are for example all the buildings in

the city will be built and equipped with earthquake resistance

technology which is a major part in making the city earthquake

resilient. Another earthquake resilient feature of this city is the

advance evacuation protocols. Besides all the earthquake resilient

features, there are also high tech eco­friendly transportation

system that brings the residents of Asgardian around the entire

city as personal vehicles are not allowed in this city. Finally, this

city also prioritise the use of eco­friendly and renewable resources

to generate the cities power as it helps promote environmental

awareness and acts as an example for other cities to follow.

PRESENTATION BOARD 3

On this board are the key features of Asgardian; the

waste management system, the energy

management system and most importantly, the

disaster­resilient aspects of the city. Each of these

features are co­related so as to bring about a whole

new level of resiliency whereby not only the city’s

buildings themselves are re­enforced with high

earthquake­resilient technology, but with back­up

systems so as to provide sufficient energy for

disaster­relief protocols for when disaster strikes.
