2. Introduction
Sustainable development is a development that
meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs’. This definition has attained
universal traction and is seen by many who
recognize the current unsustainable nature of
society as a means of achieving sustainability.

3.  Kajang is located in Hulu Langat District, in Selangor. The first
settlement in Kajang was established in 1709. In 1807, Kajang was
founded after the Klang War.
 The current location gravity of growth in Kajang would be Sungai
Chua. The total population of Kajang has grown rapidly in the past few
years, with estimated population growth of 9% per annum.
 As of 2004, a few townships have been developed in Kajang, such as
Taman Prima Saujana (straight from JalanCheras), Sungai Chua,
Taman Kajang Perdana (Kajang Highlands).
 Areas surrounding these new townships are easily accessible via the
SILK Expressway.

5. Issue at kajang
 Higher population: the population in Kajang increases rapidly and it’s also due
to the higher employment such as in commercial sector and public sector. All
the residential will be converged at Kajang city.
 Environmental issue: the increase in population and rapidly development of
buildings in contribute to pollution in Kajang. The critical pollution that occur
in Kajang due to the air pollution coming from transportation and for water
pollution coming from industrial and residential development along Sungai
Langat
 Road congestion: road connection system in Kajang is very narrow and it
cannot occupy the higher density of traffic congestion. Higher traffic
congestion happened during peak hours and weekends

6.  Due to the traffic congested, the pedestrian are not given
priority and the facilities such as pedestrian bridge and
sidewalk are not being provided for the pedestrian. So, the
pedestrian safety is not a priority.
 Demand on residential area. At the centre of Kajang city, the
land use is more on the community facilities components and
for the residential areas; it was located at the edge of the town.
There are a few townships have been developed in Kajang such
as Taman Prima Saujana, Taman Kajang Perdana and many
more

7. QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT
Our city will produce a quality development to achieve
a sustainable development
There are some qualities that should be focused to
achieve sustainable development in term of
–economy quality
–social quality
–environmental quality.

8. Economic quality
 One of the ways to achieve the sustainable
development is through economic health of the city
Economy activity, job creation and poverty should be
noted and the role of informal activities and small-
scale trade become important.
Social quality
 Sustainable urban development must take into
account social justice, basic human needs, public
health, environmental awareness in space and
time.. Social equality should be maintained in
terms of economic opportunities in this city.

9. Environmental quality
Sustainable urban development should be carried
out taking into account the ability cope that are
consumption of resources, distribution of waste
and pollution that is triggered on the city and
surrounding areas.

10. INTEGRATING TRANSPORT AND
DEVELOPMENT
 Sustainable development applied to transport systems
requires the promotion of linkages between
environmental protection, economic efficiency and
social progress.
 Transportation, as a core component supporting the
interactions and the development of economic
systems, has also been the object of much
consideration about to what extent it is sustainable

11. Proposed Strategies
 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.
 Upgrading the road systems by widening and
implementing the smart grid system for the
transportation systems.
 We also suggest making a new Bus Rapid Transit
Systems (BRT)

13. Minimum environmental impact due to surge in travel
demands
The-density form of traditional kajang cities has recently come
under attack as the antithesis of the sustainable urban form
promoted by the compact city advocates
1.The densification and agglomeration of activities can involve
spatial structures such as logistics zones or transit oriented
developments and can result in reduced vehicle trips and
increase transport alternatives
2.The strategy of traffic is a more direct method of reducing
traffic demand.

14. DEVELOPMENT ACCESS
 Pedestrians, cyclists, public and private transport are
parts of every roadway environment.

15. Pedestrian
The demand for provision of more and better
pedestrian and cyclists facilities, the demand for
this facilities influenced by :
 Car ownership
 The nature of the local community.
 Local land use activities.
 Quality of provision.
 Safety and security.

17. Improvement strategy
 Improving the quality of bus services throughout the area
 Improving network coverage to give access to key facilities.
 Improving bus stations and bus stops to improve the waiting
environment.
 Improving the scope and range of information provided to
passengers.
 Maintaining a range of tickets which allow travel throughout
the network or can be used on trams and trains
In general plan network due to long-term developments
encourage the use of public transport by it competitive
advantage over private car.

18. Parking
 Parking controls
 Underground car park
 Permeable interlocking design
 Relamp with energy efficient efficient
light bulbs
 Motivate people to car pooling

19. Urban design principles
 Density,diversity and mix
- users, building type and public spaces
 Pedestrian first
- walking as preferred mode of travel
 Transit supportive
- mobility hubs eg: Toronto and Vyttila,India
 Place making
- attraction of local places,strong identity
 Complete communities
- walking distances of daily needs
 Integrated natural systems
- conserve and enhance health of natural environment

20.  Integrated technical and industrial systems
- manufacturing, transportation, communications and
construction infrastructure
- increase their energy efficiency, and reduce their
environmental footprint.
 Local source
- grow and produce resources needed
 Engaged communities
- active participations of community members
 Redundant & Durable
- life safety and critical infrastructure system
 Resilient cities
- develop building types and urban forms with reduced
servicing costs, and reduced environmental footprints.

21. Context of overall plan
 Creating attractive surrounding
 Respecting the old buildings
 Integrate into local community.

22. Safety & Security
 Ensure safe and secure living environment.
 Sufficient police stations, posts and watch centers.
 Video surveillance at strategic places

23. LANDSCAPE AND BIODIVERSITY
 Do not disturb the reserved forest
 Planted forest at undeveloped land areas
 Do the landscape at town and home
 Build more recreation garden
 Build a garden for those have big yard at home

24. RENEWABLE ENERGY
 Renewable energy is generated from natural
resources such as wind, geothermal, hydro, and
solar, landfill gas and fuel cell.

25. MALAYSIA RENEWABLE ENERGY
CONSUMPTION

26. TO ENSURE ENERGY IS USED EFFECTIVELY
IN HOUSES
 Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to replace the
lamp
 Buy products that have the Energy Star label on
them
 Use solar power to heat water and pools, cook, and
light homes and buildings
 Use lawn as an air conditioner

27. AIR QUALITY
 Create a tropical Garden City sensitive to it natural
site and appropriate to its tropical regional location
 Continue to maintain a judicious balance between
development, ecology and national heritage
 Enhance a city living environment
 Attain an environment which is free from the major
forms of pollution

28. WATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE
In line with the vision of a WorldClass City
 Maintenance to the sewerage system to prevent from
flood problem
 Maintaining the flow capacity of the rivers and
ensuring there is no clogging

29. Conclusion
 Sustainable development can be achieved if the
communities itself are aware of the importance of
sustainablility in our life.
Thank you.
