THE ongoing effort to redevelop the older parts of Kuala Lumpur is taking on a new vigour with a number of government-owned land and assets being identified for redevelopment. This urban renewal programme, to revitalise the older and dilapidated parts of the city giving them a new lease of life, should be a holistic one.
The rationale for adopting redevelopment projects instead of taking on new ones on virgin areas is due to the growing scarcity of land in and around the capital city. Sometimes old buildings and structures need to be torn down to make way for new developments, or they can get facelifts that may involve the external or internal structures, or both.
