i-City achieves aim to become tourist spot and cyberhub

WHEN i-City was first presented to the Selangor state government about eight years ago, it saw i-City as a catalyst in the transformation of Shah Alam’s Section 7 into a vibrant urban centre. Then, activities in Shah Alam were anchored by the Bukit Rajah Industrial Estate in Section 7 and educational centres such as UiTM and Unisel.

Plans for the creation of a commercial centre in Shah Alam go back decades. In the 90s, there were plans by some Selangor state agencies to develop an exhibition centre, a world trade centre and shopping mall in Section 7, in-between the Bukit Rajah Industrial Estate and UiTM. Unfortunately these did not materialise and the land was eventually developed into residential and business premises.
