Challenges for large projects in the Klang Valley


When the mass rapid transit is operational in a year or two, its impact on the movement of people will be even more obvious.

THE pockets of large integrated development in Brickfields, Bangsar and Damansara Heights in the Klang Valley bear some interesting aspects. It is as much a glance into the past as a glimpse into the future. Among the three projects taking place today – KL Sentral, KL Eco City and Pusat Bandar Damansara - the biggest would be the 72-acre KL Sentral in Brickfields. It will be near completion this year.

The principle of building a large development and a township are fairly similar, but each has a set defined objective. Tun Razak Exchange, for example, is a financial district but we will not delve into it today. You can add in a hospital or a university with each feeding on the other. So there can be many types of integrated developments and the properties there will be different, says Malaysia Shopping Malls Association adviser H. M. Chan.
