MORPHOLOGY OF KUALA LUMPUR
Kuala Lumpur was formed
from the Klang-Gombak
River in 1857. It grew into
an industrial city, and
shophouses were built at
Masjid Jamek where the
two rivers meet.
1968 PRESENT
Due to rapid
modernisation, the river
is deemed unsuitable for
human contact and the
city and its’ skyline
became very dense
FUTURE
RIVER OF LIFE 2020
