1.Quality of Development
Proposed In a way that will be able to:
a)Provide opportunities and facilities for residents to attain economic and social progress
b)Provide a clean pleasant access to highy quality life
c)Create different type of public tranpsort
d)Conserving the living environment
a)Vibrant Centre City-compact city; mixed used activity centres and corridors
Proposed Development in Kajang (Masjid as the Centre)
Activity Area
Major,Community &
Neighbourhood
Corridors
a)Urban
b)Neighbourhood
Adapted from Calgary,Canada Development
Manner in which new growth can be directed with the Activities Centres and Corridors
Provide concentration of Jobs and people close to major transit facilities
Meet the residential and employment thresholds for each type of activity centre and corridors
Support a concentrated built form that optimizes public investment and infrastructure
Provide a range of housing types,tenures, unit sizes and affordibilty
Are walkable and have excellent connectivity
b) Livable and vibrant City Centre
•Faster,distinctive complete community with strong sence of place
•Reinforced the stability of neighbourhood
2.Integrating Transport and Development
a) Transit-supported landuse Framework
Locating higher density developments and transits supportive uses in Centres and Corridors along the Primary Network
Ensuring Design and mix of land use in these areas emphasing on pedestrian oriented environment and support transit
Managing traffic in station areas,particulary to reduce pedestrian or vehicular conflicts
Smart Transportation Integrating Systems for More Efficient Transportation.mp4
b)Subway or underground Metro systems Usage
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.
Currently under progress,is the Klang Valley MRT from Sungai Buloh to Kajang.

c)Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRT):
Traffic light will be delayed for oncoming buses
It will decrease the amount of time between stops
A computer chip inside the bus signal will
sensor on the road
Will alert the passengers at the next station if the bus running on time
Fair paid by using prepaid systems,reduce the waiting time at bus stop and waiting platform are elevated to allow for quicker entry and exit to the bus
The busses will travel in their own lanes which keep the bus system independent to the congested traffic.
TRAIN & TRAM SYSTEM IN KAJANG
Differences Between Train and Tram Systems
TRAIN
• Heavyrail transport system
• Run on specialised track
• Separated from traffic
TRAM
• Lightweight rail system
• Run on lines that are part of the road
• Share space with road traffic
TRAIN SYSTEM
Public Transport Quality Standards
Real-time Information
TRAM SYSTEM
Adaptation from Bremen Best Practices
Advantages of Tram System in Kajang
Low floor vehicles Ease of access
Efficient service Broad network
Low-floor Vehicles
Convenient Handicapped-friendly
Ease of access
Efficient Service
Broad Network
Kajang will have Kajang Sentral ,where
the all the buses, trains and taxis were integrated together
3.Minimum Environmental Impact due to surge in travel demands
1) CAR BOOKING & SHARING
Car booking can be done through call or online system
Various mobile points are available where the booked car can be collected from the nearest station (43 stations in total)
USING 1 INSTEAD OF OWNING 1
Reduce Parking Demand
Reduce the cost of
Housing
It gives an alternative to car-ownership - and supplements the environmentally friendly modes of transport
It is a kind of 'mobility insurance' for cases when other modes are not sufficient
2) ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY VEHICLES (EEV)
Emission standards for the definition of a clean vehicle Economic incentives to switch to more environmentally friendly
fuels will be implemented
Adaptation from Bremen Best Practices
Clean Diesel Buses All new buses to fulfilled the EEV emission
standard and now almost the entire fleet meets the EEV standard
(Enhanced Environmental Vehicles)
Clean cars Compressed natural gas (CNG) - 350 CNG vehicles that results in a 60% decrease in NOx
emissions
- Partnership with gas provider
Electric - Partnership with energy provider
- Reduce the energy and emission of greenhouse gases
- The silent and emission free brings new possibilities for
improvement in quality of urban life.
4. Development Access: Pedestrians, disabled people, cyclists, public transport, private transport
Collective Transport (Public Transport)
Easy interchange between different Public Transport modes
- buses
- bicycle
- taxi
Cycling /Walking– Individual Transport Modes
The bicycle is the ultimate zero-emission-vehicle
‘cycle streets’ with priority for cyclists Provides layers, well defined signs for people with a
visual impairment
Infrastructure Cycle parking with good bicycle racks
(decentralised) On-street bike racks
Interchange / Bike Parking Safe storage at Central Station Bike-racks at all regional train stops
Advantages - reduction of space for cars
- better conditions for walking, cycling
and public transit
For Disable people
Bus Tram
Ease of access for Tram
5. Parking
Parking lots should be designed to allow for users and deliveries to reach easily on site, circulate through the parking lots and exit the site.
Problems: Shortage of parking Poor parking management system.
Provide large parking area
Propose park and ride system Facilities getting into the station to using public transport Fully accessable parking space
Propose a multi storey park building designed for car parking and where there are a
number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. easier way to cater the parking demand and do not provide
large area
Specialization Park for handicapped
Parking-meter system duplicate parking rate during weekends to encourage people for using the
public transportation.
6. Urban Design Principle
The combination of aspects of architecture, landscape, public works, transportation system and public arts to create dynamic urban environment.
Problems : The street to the outer district from Kajang is quite confusing. The
signage and road network were not properly designed The condition of the street are quite dark. Lack of efficient street lighting.
Gateways are the main zones of the kajang city that could make people realize that they were entering the kajang town.
High quality of street lighting LED street lights with solar powered The panel helps in the absorption of the sunlight. The battery gives the
power for the LED lamp when night falls.
Design public spaces “ Kajang theme park” Provide green space where there are more trees and landscaping
Installation of fountains, sculptures, water gardens and special lighting. Will create an aesthetic value
Ensure complete and integrated city linkages Using the public transport
• Road• Railways
Ensure the functional distribution of centres and facilities
7. Context For Overall Plan
New development should respond positively and integrate well with its surroundings, taking full account of site features and local character.
Strategies for the overall design character of a proposal, to be attractive and function well
Respecting the local site Responding to the site Creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live
Respecting the local site Respecting existing development patterns should not rule out different forms of
layout. Can help to provide variety, inject character and ensure that land within the
established boundaries of towns and villages is used efficiently.
Responding to the site New development should respond positively to existing local landscape features,
including established patterns of fields or gardens, trees, ponds and ditches. Provide a framework for new development, that will help to integrate it into its
surroundings
Creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live The existing pattern of development within an area; can provide a good starting
point for the layout of new buildings and spaces. Incorporating elements of existing local building patterns into the structure of new
developments can help to give them a clear identity and a sense of belonging.
8. Security and Safety
A critical component and integral part of sustainability.
This element is often not explicitly recognized.
Problems :
Many illegal residents that live at Kajang.
High crime cases : robbery, snatch thieve and pickpocket
Provide sufficient police stations, police posts and police patrols
Place the closed-circuit television (CCTV) at the place that always happen crime activities
Build overhead bridge or zebra crossing for pedestrians
The resident cooperation to help people when they are in difficult situation.
9.Landscape & Biodiversity
Green-roofing system
Varied substrate depths to create different habitats
Planting a variety of vegetation types
Plant a particular species of flora that target species of fauna
Vegetated wall structures
Curb
10.Renewable Energy
Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.
The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy, is captured with wind turbines.
Solar Energy
11.Air Quality
The improvement of air quality in Kajang are dependent upon the other sustainable development and is the result of different cumulative efforts.
12.Water Quality & Drainage
Urban water management
Water recycling & irrigation
Grey water recycling
CONCLUSION
The redevelopment of a city requires a holistic
approach that encompasses all aspects of the
development
The Kajang Municipal Council will need to reuse the
lands in the most efficient way
Building at higher densities and with compact layouts
maximizes the use of land and reduces the need to
travel by car
