There are three main ways to achieve a greener KL PRELIMINARY 1 Developments where >30% of open space is prioritized for green 2 Most of GNI generated through higher property value via “green premium” , as case studies indicate greener buildings have higher rents of 5-15%. Also includes retail, events, construction, and labour 3 Government capex: RM ~70 million over five years; private investment: RM ~80 million over two years Impact Initiative Promote green redevelopment Design “green development 1 ” for major redevelopments Redevelop government land into green areas Incentivize and reclaim key spots for green development Ensure privatized land from UKAS adheres the “green development” design Increase green density Increase density of existing green space Green rooftops of existing buildings Build “vertical garden” , where trees and plants are in vertical landscape to reduce space occupation Interconnection parks and increasing park usage Connect multiple parks with green trails to create “one park” Designate and promote park space for public events (e.g., concert, performances) Incremental GNI impact: RM 1.0 bn 2 Cost: RM 150 mn 3 ~45% gov. spend GREATER KL NEW PLACES: GREENER KL 3.2 1 2 3

KL city can be further greened through different landscaping initiatives PRELIMINARY Initiative Increase green density Replacing existing road and pedestrian pathway landscaping with large trees Increase foliage coverage and directly increases greener space ~100,000 1 large trees need to be planted throughout KL city Greening unused rooftops of available buildings Increase green space by ~150,000 square meters Planting greenery in vertical and over-hanging structures Generate up to ~20% of additional green surface for transformed structures Description Impact GREATER KL NEW PLACES: GREENER KL 3.2 1 Assuming plant trees every 3 meters on both sides of ~140 km of pedestrian walkways in KL city Rooftop / skyline greening 2 Vertical garden 3 1

The areas and species for the 2,500 trees to be planted every month have been identified. Work Order for planting issued and planting already in progress. 100,000 trees planting for the Quick Win project were held on the 3 March. Participation of the private sector in pocket parks are welcomed but needs to be tailored to DBKL’s requirements for some standardization and suited to the city’s character. EPP 6 STATUS: Greener KL

KL’s pedestrian network needs significant improvement 5 Existing issues of the pedestrian network Inefficient design No integration between buildings No continuity in pedestrian walkways Poor maintenance No/low lighting Broken pavement Lack of covered walkways Lack access for physically challenged and elderly Safety concerns SOURCE: Lab analysis Based on public opinions from Seranta Awam, KL is not a pedestrian friendly city

Towards a comprehensive pedestrian network Proposed pedestrian network Priority walkways for the near term (~2km, by DBKL 1 ) 1 Phase 1 (Berjaya Time Square to Pavilion) ~800m of covered and grounded walkway 1a: Berjaya Time Square to Lot 10 1b: Lot 10 to Pavilion 1c: Two canopy intersections (Jalan Imbi / Jalan Sultan Ismail; Jalan Sultan Ismail / Jalan Bukit Bintang) Phase 2a (Jalan Perak / Pavilion to Crowne Plaza, to be approved) ~400m of elevated and covered walkway with air conditioning Phase 2b (Jalan P. Ramlee / Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jalan Pinang, to be approved) ~450m, same specifications as Phase 1 Comprehensive plan for the long term (~42 km, phased over time) 2 Major spine (~3km) High pedestrian volume with major commercial activities (e.g., retail) ~2-3 years to complete construction Primary route (~14km) High pedestrian traffic between major locations and transit nodes ~3-5 years to complete construction Secondary route First wave (~9km) Connect key pedestrian walkways ~3-5 years to complete construction Second wave (~16km) Extend the pedestrian coverage throughout city centre ~3-5 years to complete construction Other pedestrian walkways 3 River front walkway – covered by the River of Life EPP Heritage trail – covered by the Global Attraction EPP a b c 1 Private firms (SPNB and Petronas) are also constructing pedestrian linkages in selected locations 2 Pedestrian Priority Zones are locations with high density of crosswalks, curb extensions, wide walkways, narrow vehicle street, and limited vehicular access at low speed Major Spine Primary Route Secondary Route (1 st Wave) Secondary Route (2 nd Wave) Riverfront Walkway Heritage Trail Pedestrian Priority Zone 2 Comprehensive plan / Long term Priority walkway (length, construction period) SPNB (~2 km, Jun-Dec 2010) Petronas (~0.5 km, Apr-Feb 2011) DBKL (~2 km, Oct-Sep 2011) LRT Stations Potential issues with property owners will need to be managed

Scope is to improve existing pedestrian walkway for 42 km around the city. Works to remove signages and advertisement to deliver barrier free walkways commenced middle of February. Greener KL and Pedestrian Network are collaborating on the pedestrian walkway designs on Jalan Sultan Ismail to create a canopy covered, safe city concept pedestrian walkway. Construction scheduled to begin in May. EPP 8 STATUS: Pedestrian Walkway

GREATER KL ENHANCED SERVICES: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT 4.2 1 1 Sanitary landfills in the Greater KL region are running out of capacity Malaysian government spends a significant amount of funding on solid waste management 3 3 2 2 Recycling rates in Greater KL and Malaysia in general are too low Lack of proper system for construction and demolition waste disposal 4 4 Current public cleansing and SWM collection outsourcing agreements do not meet expected levels of service and performance 5 5

4 major initiatives to improve solid waste management 4.2. SOURCE: Team analysis Create a recycling ecosystem including composting to stimulate waste disposal reduction and achieve 40% recycling Introduce composting and anaerobic digestion to reduce amount of waste to final treatment Stimulate C&D waste recycling with a proper system and a recycling facility Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) Increase waste treatment capacity to reduce the amount of resultant landfill waste Waste treatment Segregate and restructure tariffs to incentivize waste disposal reduction and separation at source Hold competitive open tenders for all activities to be outsourced to create a competitive market Ensure strong enforcing mechanisms built into (soon to be finalised) concession contracts to ensure performance Governance Assess future potential for leveraging technology like automatic waste collection systems and deep bins to improve waste collection standards Future improvements 1 2 3 4

Seminar conducted and study in progress to determine best available practices for treating of food waste. The food waste plan will need to take into account the various technologies:- i) Biogas / Anaerobic Digester (AD) ii) Carbonator iii) Composting Procurement of 3R Materials for Awareness Campaign is in progress. Review being undertaken on the disposal of C&D Waste. EPP 9 STATUS: Solid Waste Management
