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.
Introduction
Kajang was first established in 1807 and developed into a modern township as it enjoys the
rapidly increasing rubber estate business at the turn of the 20th century. Today, Kajang is a
sub-urban township of Klang Valley and have been linked with modern highways and
complete network of transportations. Situated in the southern part of Selangor state of Hulu
Langat district, it is inhabited by more than 230,000,000 residents of various races and
religion. The process of revitalizing deteriorate sections of the city is often done through
demolition and new construction. Although urban renewal programs may be privately funded,
in order to transform Kajang to become a self reliance town, that aiming at revitalization of
the urban environment. This is most often associated with government renewal programs. For
example, most large cities have experienced some urban renewal in the last 20 years. The
typical program attempts to demolish concentrations of dilapidated housing and often attract
developers of middle-income or mixed housing. Often, however, urban renewal areas become
sites for new public buildings such as civic auditoriums, sport arenas and universities. The
improvement of slum, deteriorated and underutilized areas of the city; generally implies
improvement realized through city, state and particularly federal programs, including the
clearance and redevelopment of slums (overcrowded area of a city in which the housing is
typically in a bad condition), the rehabilitation of relatively sound structures, and conservation
measures to arrest the spread of deterioration. The old town of Kajang is in such condition.
The old buildings are dilapidated and are still standing in need of attention. But the important
thing must to realise that renewal also had both success and failures. Urban renewal has been
seen by proponents as an economic engine and a reform mechanism and by critics as a
mechanism for control. It may enhance existing communities and in some cases result in the
demolition of neighbourhoods.
Vision and Mission
Urban Renewal

ensure to have equivalent quality of life, which mean that gap between rich and poor will
be smaller. Economic growth will achieve its balance, which is the ideal stage. No more
over demand to increase the burden on earth. Suggested economic activities are preferable
to environmental friendly, such as organic agriculture, professional knowledge services,
green buildings development and etc.

Most of the existing natural forest will be reserved in Kajang after the redesign
development. From the well planned building orientation and reserved places for
plantation, it is believe that air quality and atmosphere condition in Kajang are
satisfactory. Besides that, together with the utilization of renewable energy and high
technology for transport system which able to have zero emission of greenhouse gases,
this will effectively ensure environment quality in Kajang is in good condition. However,
environmental quality is not only about air quality, on the same water and land quality
also need to be taken into consideration. Thus, high technology and engineered method
should apply on solid waste management and water resources as well, to ensure good
quality and minimum impact to water and land. Besides that, to give a new life for Kajang
city, more plantations need to be plant along the road and street.

walk,cycling or use more public transport. The city centre is the area of a city where
commerce, entertainment, shopping and political power are concentrated. The term of city
centre is same with term of central business district (CBD). So, we will transform Kajang
become a compact sustainable city which it approach is to save resources, energy and
enhance the quality of life. It encourages creation of neighbourhoods within walking
distance to reduce the travel times and create liveable environments accessible for
pedestrians and cyclists. Develop the surrounding of the existing masjid to improve the
development there by established a new facilities and services near to masjid area. Around
the Masjid Kajang, we have planned to build more of retail and office buildings that the
one of the ways provide employment opportunities to Kajangs residents.

publics vision for downtown and other urban renewal areas that may be considered in the
future.
