Kajang has transformed itself from a small old town to a big modern town by designing
and developing new township such as Bandar Baru Bangi and Bandar Seri Putra as well
as extending its CBD (central business district) such as extension to Sungai Chua.
However, its centre is inadequately transformed and most of its residences are working in
Kuala Lumpur and other external areas. Write your vision and plan for Kajang to
transform its town centre and to be a self reliance town. You may use sketches to enhance
your vision and plan.

Urban renewal is a program of land redevelopment in areas of moderate to high density
urban land use. Urban renewal involves the relocation of businesses, the demolition of
structures, the relocation of people, and the use ofeminent domain (government purchase of
property for public purpose) as a legal instrument to take private property for city-initiated
development projects.

Vision
Producing a self reliance town with a higher quality of living in Kajang that make up the
community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents,
present and future.

Plans:
1. Transforming into a more compact city
Vibrant,tansit-supportive,mixed use centres and corridors
Transit-supported landuse Framework
Livable and vibrant City Centre

2. Integrating transport and development
3. Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places
4. Waste Management
5. Renewable Energy

Livable and vibrant City Centre

Reinforce the downtowns position as Kajang City principle business Centre,preimiere
urban living environment and centres for arts,culture,recreation and tourism









2) Integrating transport and development
A good traffic management is aimed to optimizing the existing infrastructure and improving
the flow capacity at the city. Strategies that can be applied in Kajang City centre are:
i. Redirecting the movement pattern of using the private transport to the public
transport and also improving the service for public transport such as subway, busses
and taxi

.


ii. Upgrading the road systems by widening and implementing the smart grid system
for the transportation systems.









iii. Making a new Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRT):
BRT is a high performance of public transportation bus service that combines the bus
lanes with high quality bus station. Traffic light will be delayed for oncoming buses. It
will decrease the amount of time between stops. A part from that, a computer chip inside
the bus signal will sensor on the road. Then, it will alert the passengers at the next
station if the bus running on time. Besides, fair is paid by using prepaid systems. So it
can reduce the waiting time at bus stop and waiting platform are elevated to allow for
quicker entry and exit to the bus. After that, the busses will travel in their own lanes
which keep the bus system independent to the congested traffic.










iv. Subway or underground Metro systems Usage.

It is because, we can minimizing the usage of the land use. A part from that, by using
subway we can reduce the emission of carbon monoxide and also reducing the noise
pollution in the city. This metro system is an electric passanger transport system with
high capacity and high frequency of services that totally independent from other
traffic, road or pedestrian. The location of the subway connecting the residential area
to the commercial area at the centre of the city and also to the Sungai Langat region.
This Subway also linkage to Balakong which is industrial area. Currently under
progress,is the Klang Valley MRT from Sungai Buloh to Kajang.


















3) Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places
Langat River Basin Project River Of Life Part II.

Continuing project river of life part II at Langat River. The objective of this project is to
transform the Langat River into a vibrant and liveable waterfront with high economic value.
This transformation is divided into three components that are river cleaning, beautification
and river development.

a. River cleaning.
The objective of the River Cleaning is to clean and improve the water quality from
its current Class III until Class V water quality that not suitable for body contact
transform to Class IIb that suitable for body contact recreational usage.

b. Beautification.
The objective of the River Beautification is to beautify the river to increase the
economic vialibility of the area.

c. River development.
The beautification works will spur economic investments into the areas immediately
surrounding the river corridor. To catalyse development along the corridor, potential
government land will be identified and tendered out to private developers through
competitive bidding.





2. This project may increase the monthly income for this city cause of the
beautification and the development. The beautification of the river and the
development beside the river can be as tourist attraction for this city which promotes
equitable economic development













By Creating beautiful, healthy and socially integrated and inclusive places an equitable
economic development is promoted
New Building Development
I. Business Hall

Kajang Business Hall will join several other governments and private developers that have
constructed green roofs as a way of capturing greenhouse gases, easing water runoff and
potentially lowering building energy costs. Green roofs is located on a roof below the
business incubation centres overhead walkway, the greenery has become an attractive place
for workers to relax. The green roofs insulation has abilities and impact on energy costs.

II. Hotel budget

It doesnt take a luxurious property or budget to build in sustainability, but the Riverview
Hotel is a strong example of how luxury and green building can work hand in hand in
the hospitality industry. The design of the hotel will decreasing the hotels environmental
footprint by reducing waste and promoting energy and water efficiency.The hotels are
unique because of the high volume of individual guest rooms, each of which requires its
own supply of energy and water known as compartmentalization even when the room is
empty. To combat wastefulness, the project team installed individual guest
room controls which setback the heating ventilation and air conditioning system and turn off
the lights when rooms are unoccupied. Another cool feature of the hotel is its U-shaped
design, facing out toward the beach. Not only does this intelligent use of passive-solar
design maximize ocean views and breezes for hotel guests, but it also increases the amount
of natural daylight entering common areas and guest rooms. This reduces the need for
artificial lighting and creates a healthier indoor environment for guests. All in all, a look at
the Riverview Hotels sustainability efforts reveals multiple takeaways for prospective green
hotels







III. Conventional Center

The concept of this building is zero carbon footprint. There, things take a turn for the
higher-technology that sophisticated heating and cooling systems that that use minimal
amounts of juice, all linked up to a central computer that monitors environmental
conditions in real time and adjusts electricity consumption accordingly. When the
building is stuffed with guests, it even traps their radiating heat and water vapor to be
stored for later use.


4) Waste management

i. Recycling

A proposal to place an environmentally friendly Recycling Centre focusing
on reusing todays household or domestic waste materials to preserve tomorrows
resources and to promote recycle in our city. They are green, reduce energy wastage
and the most important thing is they are fully functional as well as any other
building. The aim of this recycling centre is to minimize natural resource use while
enhancing social and economic benefits. It is designed to increase the understanding
and appreciation of the environment among the public. The design approach of this
project is to produce an environmental aware community by exposing them to the
process and the importance of recycling. Interactive space among public and
learning space to educate the public are the main concern of the project. Therefore,
the space program will be designed for interaction and education purposed.Thus, a
recycling center should be more than a recycling center in or to promote and educate
the community about recycling. In this project, the recycling center should hold a
commercial area selling recycled product, a place for monthly junk yard sale for the
community to trade or exchange their unwanted useable house hold or furniture, a
gallery and even a cafe.





ii. Landfill

Provide a landfill to dump the excess waste from household and
commercial area. Sanitary landfills are sites where waste is isolated from the
environment until it is safe. It is considered when it has completely degraded
biologically, chemically and physically. In high-income countries, the level of
isolation achieved may be high.
There are financial and other benefits to sites with long operating lifetimes.
Landfill sites to sanitary status will also help in capturing the bio-gas as a source of
renewable energy. As we know that, landfill will generate main gases that are
methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Capturing and positive
utilization of the biogas is not only environmentally beneficial but also economically
attractive. The methane gases produce naturally from landfill site. The main gases
from methane can convert to energy then convert to electricity. So, we can produce
our own electricity from the landfill without have any cost.


5) Renewable energy

Solar Power Plant
Energy supplies for our entire city are solar power farm. This kind of
renewable energy has many advantages than disadvantages. To make our city
become the sustainable environment, we have to provide this thing of energy supply.
The major advantage of solar power is that no pollution is created in the process of
generating electricity. Environmentally it the most Clean and Green energy. Solar
Energy is clean, renewable and sustainable, helping to protect our environment.
