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
