The document summarizes the major issues addressed in Kuala Lumpur's structure plan from 1981 to 2000, including transport and traffic problems due to rapid growth in private car usage; flash flooding due to clogged rivers and inadequate drainage; housing shortages and squatter settlements; and declining environmental quality and lack of leisure facilities due to unplanned development. The structure plan proposed solutions such as expanding public transport and road networks, improving flood mitigation infrastructure, increasing affordable housing, and promoting coordinated development between Kuala Lumpur and surrounding new municipalities to guide future growth in a sustainable manner.
