Bringing the placemaking concept to an existing area such as Section 52 in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, can go a long way towards making it a more exciting and liveable space, say urban planning experts.

The area, which is a commercial centre and a hub for various local and Federal government offices, is home to several landmarks, including Petaling Jaya’s first cinema, the imposing Menara MBPJ and the MBPJ Civic Hall.
