Adding light to darkness: DBKL to reclaim side lanes and alleys


ABOUT 50% of public spaces in Kuala Lumpur are not developed and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) plans to make use of these pockets of spaces and turn them into vibrant spots for the public to hang out.

DBKL Project Implementation and Building Maintenance Department deputy director Norzaini Noordin said the unused public spaces include side lanes and alleys that are usually unsavoury parts of the neighbourhood that are left unattended and are dirty.
