Expanding nodular development (end) sustainable urbanisationNeilBaulch
This Paper was prompted by the increasingly obvious adverse effects of the ‘Urban Sprawl’ mode of urban expansion of Australian capital cities. Population of the nation is increasing steadily with a fertility rate of about 1.8 babies per woman, and a net overseas migration of about 180,000 persons per year. With over 64% of the nation’s population concentrated into the capital cities, there is a magnification effect for them, as demonstrated by Melbourne which is increasing at the rate of 2%,while Victoria as a whole is increasing at 1.8%. At this rate the actual increase for Melbourne is an alarming 82,000 per year, which is approaching the population of Ballarat. These high rates of population increase are problematic, and if not addressed now, could impose severe restrictions to the nation’s future economy and unfavourably affect the wellbeing of its citizens.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Streetcar suburbs are neighborhoods
designed for residents to commute into the
city via cars.
-These neighbourhoods are sparser than
neighbourhoods designed for pedestrians to
traverse, but they are dense enough to keep
buildings and shops within walking distance.
Walkway and streets between buildings
-Locals will rarely travel by foot within KL
city centre due to the sparse distances
between locations and hot weather in KL.
-due to the urban
design of street car
suburbs, people avoid
walking to their
destinations.
-Hence, Kl has a
serious issue of traffic
jam most of the time
especially during peak
hours.
Even though
there are a lot
of choices for
transportation
in KL, there is
connectivity
issues.
For example,
people have to
transit from
KTM komuter
to LRT at KL
sentral and
walk to a bus
stop to go from
Sungai buloh to
KL
5. Main Issues in Kuala Lumpur
4)PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT /
SOCIAL
NOISE LEVEL / HIGH
TRAFFIC
Based on the Malaysia Environment Quality
Report 2000, noise monitoring
concentrated mainly on assessing the
impact of noise exposure to sensitive noise
receivers at premises such as schools and
hospitals in Kuala Lumpur were found to
be between 57.8 decibels to 71.8 decibels
during day time (7 am to 10 pm) which
exceeded the limit of 55 decibels
recommended by the World Health
Organisation (WHO).
The main source of noise is vehicular
traffic while other noise sources, such as
those from industrial machinery and the
LRT, affect localised areas.
• High noise levels in many parts of the
City.
3)PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
FLOOD PRONE AREAS
Flooding has been a regular occurrence in
Kuala Lumpur whenever there is a heavy
downpour, especially in the City Centre and
downstream areas . These frequent flash
floods disrupt the City’s functioning,
damage property and threaten human lives
Flooding has been a regular occurrence in
Kuala Lumpur whenever there is a heavy
downpour, especially in the City Centre...
The development of structures within the
river reserves has further reduced the flow
capacity of the City’s rivers thus, increasing
the likelihood of flooding.
Obstruction of storm water flow by
structures in river reserves.
2)PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
RIVER WATER QUALITY
Two of the three primary rivers in Kuala
Lumpur, namely Sungai Klang and Sungai
Gombak, flow through the heart of the City.
All three rivers originate from the highland
areas in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur
and have massive suspended solid loading as
is evident from their muddy colour.
A major contribution to the situation is the
discharge of silt from construction sites.
Debris in the rivers is also a serious problem
caused principally by the indiscriminate
dumping of solid waste from squatter
settlements along the riverbanks. The direct
discharge of domestic wastewater into the
rivers still occurs in some areas, further
adding to the rivers’ pollution problems.
Three major rivers
flowing through the heart
of the city.
1)PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT /
SOCIAL
EXCESS WASTE
Currently, over 23,000 tonnes of waste is
produced each day in Malaysia. However,
this amount is expected to rise to 30,000
tonnes by the year 2020.
The amount of waste generated continues
to increase due to the increasing
population and development, and only less
than 5% of the waste is being recycled.
Malaysians generate 38,000 tonnes of
waste per day. Of this, around 15,000
tonnes is food waste. Of this, 8000 tonnes –
or about 60% – is avoidable food waste.
6. STOCKHOLM
Green thinking is evident in every
part of the Stockholm
Leading the way in sustainability
Actual sustainability can only result from a much more holistic approach
where every aspect of environmental, economic and social impact is part of
the equation.
KUALA LUMPUR
Malaysia is a rich country of natural
diversity
Can generate economy through environmental care
Wealthy of environmental resources and unique landscape
Undertake a exponential development after independence
however there is effort to preserve the environment from
eradication.
7. P2 KUALA LUMPUR POPULATION 2019
1,760,000 people
Population Density of Kuala Lumpur
The population density in Malaysia is 6,890 per Km2
(256 people
per mi2
). The median age in Malaysia is 28.1 years.
P2 STOCKHOLM POPULATION 2019

Population Density of Stockholm
The population of Stockholm is estimated at 910,000 in 2016 with a
population density of 4,800 people per square kilometer, or 13,000
per square mile.
8. P2 KL’S RAPID POPULATION GROWTH
-Kuala Lumpur is an aging city as birth rates have fallen in the last
decade or two.
This has led to a lower percentage of young people under 15, a
group that has dropped from 33% in 1980 to under 27% in 2000. The
working age group between 15 and 59 has increased from 63% in
1980 to 67% in 2000 as more people move to the city for
opportunities.
-By 2020, Kuala Lumpur is projected to have a population of 2.2
million.
P2 STOCKHOLM RAPID POPULATION GROWTH
Sweden's capital is swelling more rapidly than any other city in Europe,
with its population expected to expand by 11 percent by 2020.
Stockholm has topped a list of Europe's fastest growing places, with
the city's population expected to top one million in the next five years,
rising from 911,989 to 1,012,488 by 2020, an increase of 11 percent.
9. P2 STOCKHOLM URBAN DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
Urban Planning Model City
The Stockholm of today is an urban planner's dream city for its many
town planning superlatives, including its walkability and clean air,
water clean enough that people can fish and dive in the city center, an
efficient, rail-based public transit system.
P2 KL’S URBAN DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
Urban Planning Model City
It started in the 'Sentral’ which is in the middle of Kuala Lumpur
After the development of high-rise buildings, businesses,
entertainment centres, restaurants and apartments in the
Sentral; other developments were rising and spreading outwards
from the Sentral. It acts a focus point and a tourist destination
for Kuala Lumpur. Thus it is considered that it had ‘spread’
outwards.
10. P2 STOCKHOLM’S OPEN SPACES
Stockholmers go about their daily lives on the streets, squares and public
transport.
With 42% green spaces. Destinations such as parks and playgrounds enable
social contact between local residents, and also contribute to mobility
within the city.
Public spaces are vital in developing urban living throughout the city.
To improve social
integration, it’s
important to
develop inspiring
shared locations,
where people
from different
backgrounds can
see and
encounter each
other.
P2 KUALA LUMPUR’S OPEN SPACES
Malaysians go about their daily lives on the streets, squares and public
transport.
Green spaces
in Kuala
Lumpur are
segregated.
Despite the rapid urbanisation of KL city and dominated by the urban
area, there are still 30.7 % of green areas covered, which has become
the second largest area after urban, including three forest reserves
and nine main recreational parks.
11. ISSUE: WATER POLLUTION IN KUALA LUMPUR
● Water pollution is arguably the most fundamental environment issue in Malaysia.
● Rivers contaminated by sewage contain high levels of pollutants such as gasoline,
pesticides and etcetera that may cause mass die-offs and loss of reproductive
ability of fish and other aquatic organisms.
● Sewage pollution also causes outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as
cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A that are detrimental to human.

12. Stockholm Vatten (Stockholm’s water company)
● Upgrading its massive Henriksdal plant that treats two thirds of the capital’s wastewater.
● The plant consists of undulating membranes that emulate seaweed designed by GE, efficiently filter
out everything from gasoline, to bleach and human waste.
● When finished, the plant will become the world’s largest water treatment facility with such
“membrane bioreactors” (MBRs), capable of processing almost 280 million gallons of dirty water per
day. The plant will release the clean water back into the Baltic Sea.

SOLUTION: STOCKHOLM’S HENRIKSDAL PLANT
13. APPLICATION 1. Tunneling a sewage treatment
plant with MBfR technology
installed underground.
2. Footprint of the plant can be
minimised by building it at
several levels in the rock.
3. By placing the plant
underground, the impact of
noise and odour is minimised.
4. Activities at the plant have very
little impact on the
surroundings.
5. The main purpose of the plant is
to reduce eutrophication and
oxygen deficiency.
Obstacles:
Lack of funds from government
Lack of underground caverns for building
the plant
Sewage treatment plant with MBsR technology is popular and
widely used in Stockholm. Imitating Stockholm to build a
underground sewage treatment plant using MBsR technology in
Malaysia can help to solve water pollution effectively because
the MBsR system can filter out all the pollutants, returning two
thirds of the water back to the environment.
14. ISSUE: Waste management in Kuala Lumpur
In 2018, Malaysians generated 38, 142 tonnes of waste per day, an increase from 19, 000 tonnes of waste a
day in 2005, enough to fill the KLCC Twin Towers every seven days. Most waste are transported to the
landfills.
- 45% of the waste collected was food waste, 24% are plastic waste,18% glass, 7% paper and 6% metal.
- Academics and environmentalists had stated that food waste dumped in landfills is the main
contributor of methane which is a greenhouse gas and a major contributor to climate change.Without
a good lining at the landfills, toxic leaches from food waste can contaminate groundwater and rivers.
- As KL-ites generate 3,500 tonnes of domestic and industrial waste a day and with an average
Malaysian household generating about 1.3kg of organic waste per day which where then sent to the
landfill in Taman Beringin.

15. SOLUTION: Waste management in Stockholm
In 2013, 13% of the produced food waste from households, restaurants and shops in Stockholm was taken care of
and sent to a biogas facility.
- The food waste is turned into biofertilizer and biogas at facilities through digestion. Biogas is made out
of methane and carbon dioxide.
- Biogas can be used as heating or electricity production.While bio-fertilizer, which is a rest product of the
digestion process, has a high content of nutrients and beneficial for agricultural use.
Digestion - decomposition of organic matter into biogas under an anaerobic conditions. Biological decomposition
of organic matter is composted into carbon dioxide and water by oxygen. When the waste breaks down, an
energy is released in the form of heat.
- As for the other waste, the furnaces in WTE (waste-to-energy) plants are filled with garbage, and then
burnt to create steam which is used to spin turbines to produce electricity.
- 49% of household waste is recycled, and roughly 50% of garbage is incinerated in these power plants
within Sweden.

Increase Recycling
Recycling plays a part of Swedish culture. Recyclable materials and food scraps are regularly sort out from
other waste by the residences in their homes before disposal.
- Makes the recycling process faster and reduces the effort needed to sort large quantities of waste at
larger recycling centers. The Swedish government had also created a legislation stating that recycling
centers must be within 1,000 feet of any residential area.
Kitchen food waste processor system
Could install kitchen food waste processors which have a collecting technique that comes from the grinder to a
local tank in the basement of the building.
- The decomposed food waste is then transported to the biogas facility without having to be pre-treated.
They are in need to be vacuumed from the tank and transported to the waste treatment facility.
- The collection of food waste will happen in the households and will turn into biofuel from digester gas.

22. Malaysia’s power generation mix has always been highly reliant on fossil fuels, mainly from natural
gases and coal which produces an intense amount of carbon dioxide, which is expected to grow from
48% in 2015 to 66% by 2023.
Malaysians response:
- KL aiming to reduce 20% carbon emissions by 2022.
- Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has undertaken a study on low-carbon footprint in an effort to
create more green spaces and linkages in Kuala Lumpur.

23. SOLUTION : Alternative energy sources
For Kuala Lumpur to bring down it’s high carbon dioxide emission they have to stop relying on fossil fuels
as it is very high in carbon dioxide emissions and at the same time it is a non renewable energy.
Sweden has a rich supply of moving water and biomass, therefore it contributes to the country's high
share of renewable energy. Hydropower (water) and bioenergy are the top renewable sources in Sweden
Hydropower is mostly used for electricity production and bioenergy for heating.
Solution: Malaysia is rich with natural resources, it has plenty of water and receives high rain volume per
year which can be used to generate power. Hence, the use of hydropower becomes relevant in this
country. It is also the least costly way of storing large amounts of electricity.

24. APPLICATION: Hydropower energy to Kuala Lumpur
- Build a hydropower plant at Klang Gates Dam.
- Hydropower generator would use transmission lines to conduct electricity from the hydropower
plants to houses and businesses.
- Due to high rain volume per year in Kuala Lumpur it would be easy to collect water in the Klang
Gates Dam which would mean ample of supply of water for the the hydropower plant to
generate.

25. CONCLUSION- Kuala Lumpur a sustainable city by 2026
Kuala Lumpur is expected to be
world-class sustainable city by
2026, says the Malaysian Institute
of Planners (MIP).
We are about 30% away and we
are targeting for Kuala Lumpur
to be a sustainable city within
seven years,”
“To be a sustainable city , we
must look beyond the ‘green
factors’ like recycling , air
pollution and natural catastrophe
risks. We need to examine income
inequality, housing and living
costs, reliability of public
transportation among others,”
