TheDream of Kajang

After 20 years from now

Transportation and roadsThe public transportation facilities for bus and taxi service at

Kajang Town currently are not in good condition because there is only one bus stop located in the centre of Kajang town. This bus stop situated in front of the shops and very near to the main road at Jalan Besar. It makes the road become crowded with the buses and also the taxis. At the same time, this bus stop point is the major source of traffic congested in Kajang town.

Transportation and roads

after 20 years

we suggest to provide a few of facilities and system of publictransport to improve Kajang’s developmental access just as following :1. Create metro bas2. Textures pathways with good continuity3. Dedicated cycle lanes whenever possible4. Musical crossing signals at signalized intersections (for the

blind).5. Ramps for wheelchairs.

After apply our suggestion to provide a few of facilities and system of public

transport to improve Kajang’s developmental access .

ParkingThe low cost of long-term parking in the City Centre together with the abundance of parking spaces and the flexibility of movement associated with car transport, has made car transport the preferred means of travel in the City.

We suggest to build tower park to solve the parking problems in kajang roads.

Kajang Train Station1)Provide and redevelop the parking lots.2)Reduce relying on ownership cars and taxis to

get station3)Facilities getting to the station by using public

transport.4)Provide more facilities for passenger such as:

(ATM, Suitable waiting rooms, shopping centre and luggage carriage ).

5)Remove the random workshops near by the station.

6)Care about external view, and redevelop the station to be able to attract more people to use ( KTM).

Water Quality and DrainageTwo rivers run through Kajang, Sungai Langat and the branch

Sungai Jelok. Overall, water quality in Kajang is unsatisfactory. Water of Sungai Langat and Sungai Jelok are particularly polluted. Occurrence of flash floods in Kajang is also quite high, especially in residential areas (Kampung Sungai Ramal and Desa Bunga Raya) and city centre. Old drainage systems unable to cope with current flow and discharge of surface runoff where most of the drainages built from concrete type that no allow the natural infiltration of precipitation and cause the peak runoff onsurface.

We seggest to redisign this river and build new building.

drainage systems

Improve existing drainage systems and build new drainage networks to cope

with today’s demands and environmental friendly implementation such as

“swale”. Swale can control nuisance flooding and provide for the safe

passage of less frequent and larger flood events, minimize the environmental

impact of urban runoff on water quality and ensure the safety of the public

enhance the urban landscape.

HOUSINGThe housing areas should be divided into 3 parts: high, middle, and low density. Based on that, in the city centre, the new buildings must be built as a vertical extended to benefit as much as we can from the empty areas to use for another function.Provide the suitable homes for the citizens and vanish the old buildings which are not suitable to live in.Reduce the house's rent and maintain the existing buildings.

Green AreaTo develop green area the following steps must be done:1- Provide parks such as (children's playground).2- develop and create green area to provide healthy air and to make a new look for the town.3- Protect vegetation from the damage due to increasing in buildings.4- develop new places for sports activities.

To develop green area the following steps must be follow:

-There is no sport complex in Kajang. It only has one old stadium.

- Provide parks such as (children's playground).

- develop and create green area to provide healthy air and to make a

new look for the town.

- Protect vegetation area from the damage due to increasing in

buildings construction.

- develop new places for sports activities.

Kajang urban life has the potential to be the most resource efficient pattern ofdevelopment. Through the regeneration, conservation and rehabilitation of urban areas the loss of undeveloped or green field land is minimized. The Kajang Municipal Council will require that previously developed or brown field land is re-used in the most efficient way and at the same time creates more attractive places to live and work. A target is set that 100% of new homes in the city will be built on previously developed sites. Building at higher densities and with compact layouts maximizes the use of land and reduces the need to travel by car. This higher density should not compromise the provision of a high quality urban environment.

A number of Community programs will provide opportunities for training andcapacity-building for local authorities to develop the skills needed, to worldwideexchange of best practice, knowledge and experience on urban issues for managing theurban environment. Moreover, support will be offered for local authorities to worktogether and learn from each other. These should be exploited both by the localauthorities and local community.
