Urban Planner Ihsan Zainal Mokhtar said with a little innovative and creative energy Kuala Lumpur can make its public places alive and fun.

THE growing number of developments encroaching onto green areas such as Taman Rimba Kiara and Bandar Tun Razak has created quite a stir among the local community recently.

While green spaces within urban areas are known to offer a healthy environment and enhance liveability, they also provide economic benefits.
