Kajang, is the district capital of Hulu Langat and surrounded by Semenyih, Cheras, Seri
Kembangan, Putrajaya and Nilai (see Figure 1). The main population centers in Kajang
are currently located in Sg. Kantan, Sg.Jelok, Sg.Ramal, Sungai Chua, Sg. Sekamat,
Bandar Mahkota, Jalan Reko, Jalan Bukit, Bandar Sungai Long, Bandar Tun Hussein
Onn, Cheras Perdana, Taman Prima Saujana, Taman Kantan Permai, Taman Kajang
Perdana, Taman Sri Ramal and Taman Kajang Prima. Sungai Chua is the current
locational gravity of growth in Kajang. The property value in Sungai Chua is expected to
rise with the construction of MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang line that will become operational
in 2017. Below is a graphic representation of the business activities, places of interest
and facilities and amenities that can be found around and within Kajang:

Figure 3 Traffic jam in Kajang city center
The traffic jam increases all kinds of pollution, especially air and noise. Furthermore,
people tend to spend more time stuck in the traffic rather than using it efficiently. From
my opinion, Kajang will not have the opportunity to develop further as a potential
business center especially with the lack of effective public transportation.
Figure 4 The proposed MRT line will pass through Jalan Besar in Kajang Town,
affecting 39 shop owners.

Figure 5 Hentian Kajang
The current Hentian Kajang is far from what we can call modern, systematic and
customer friendly. A rebranding process need to be done.
Figure 6 The current state of Sungai Chua does not represent a healthy environment
The sediments are starting to build up. If further action is not taken to cater this
problem, Kajang city center might face with flood every time there is heavy rain.

Figure 7 Inefficient pedestrian sidewalk since it does not serve its intended purpose
It causes difficulties for people to use it and certainly does not promote walking in the
city center as an option to avoid the traffic jam.
Figure 8 Dirty back alley
Aside from giving a bad image to the city, it gives away the impression that the local
community are not interested in a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

Figure 9 A row of old shop houses
From my opinion, a rebranding process on the architectural feature of the shop
houses needs to be done in order for the city to be recognized as a highly potential
business center.

2.1. AREA 1
Below are a few pictures of how the new concept will be applied in area marked
“1” based on examples that are already being implemented in other countries.

organized. (source: http://soo-sean.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html )
Figure 12 The Kronsberg eco-district of Hannover, Germany provides a view of
the ecological potential of custom-designed city spaces. This 7,000-resident,
public-private development for middle to middle-low income residents achieves an
80 percent reduction in typical household energy consumption and produces
nearly zero storm water run-off. / Image credit: Jeb Brugmann (source:

Figure 13 The famous Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Curitiba is proposed to
be implemented in Kajang city center and not only limited to area 1. The concept
of BRT system not only tackles the issue of traffic jam, but provides a healthier
mode of transportation. (source: http://chaurahha.wordpress.com/tag/curitiba/ )

implemented in Hannover, Kronsberg, Germany. By providing a green

2.2. AREA 2 AND 3
Figure 15 Urban Transformation Center (UTC) in Kuala Lumpur. UTC applied the
concept of "One Stop Center". Not only were there several government agencies,
but it also provide many types of services. From my opinion, the concept of UTC is
suitable for Kajang’s government offices that are located in the city center.

Figure 16 UTC also functions as a bus station (since UTC is previously known as
Puduraya bus station). (source: http://mrkumai.blogspot.com/2012/12/catatan-

Figure 21 The above building is a 28-storey mixed-use building in Kowloon, China.
The design features a multi-storey green base (which is actually the car park) that
provides a 'greening effect' within the neighbourhood. It accommodates offices,
retail spaces, and a car park. The building sits on a corner plot adjacent to other
multi-storey developments. The same concept of “greening effect” could be
applied at the proposed multi storey parking.

center. (source: http://planningpool.com/2010/08/transportation/sustainable-

Figure 25 The Star Performing Arts Center and Star Vista. This is a multipurpose
complex featuring a state-of-the-art with 5000 seat auditorium, above the theater
located a vibrant shopping mall. Minimum lighting creates a comfortable contrast
in the shopping mall. The sustainable lighting design helped Singapore Building
and Construction Authority win the “Green Mark Gold Award”. This type of building
concept could be applied to Plaza Metro Kajang to rebrand not only the building
but also the surrounding area into a high potential business center. This concept
could be specially applied for area marked “3”. However, instead of a theatre
Plaza Metro Kajang could be transformed into a 5 star hotel located above a
vibrant shopping mall. (source: http://belight.com/2013/10/11/surreal-architecture-

Figure 27 Asmaçatı Shopping and Meeting Point, a semi-open shopping facility in
Balçova, Izmir, Turkey is another example of a sustainable shopping center. The
form references traditional gazebos, which are usually covered in ivy leaves on
the top and the sides. Large metal shade screens perforated with leaf shapes
cover the walkways, dining patios and a courtyard to provide shady places to rest.
Natural ventilation, daylighting, and plentiful planters create a pleasant
microclimate. This permeable space combines sustainability, retail, open public
space, recreation and street life into an enjoyable outdoor atmosphere for all to
enjoy. (source: http://inhabitat.com/shady-asmacati-shopping-center-features-a-

Figure 30 Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project in Ahmedabad. An example
of how the river beautification will be implemented at Sungai Chua. However,
more “greening effect” needs to be incorporated in the design. Detailed and
careful planning should also be carried out to ensure that water from the drainage
system is well filtered before entering the river. The local community should also
be involved in the effort of maintaining the sustainability of the river by educating
them in the importance of sustainable living and environmental protection.
