City Plan


Kuala Lumpur is set up in multi nuclei and sector zoning structure. Since residential areas are spread throughout the city, we’ve evaluated Kuala Lumpur as a Multi Nuclei City, but since a commercial area lies in the centre of the city and everything else is spread around it, you can also claim that it has a sector like zoning structure.
Since a majority of Kuala Lumpur is comprised of residential areas, workplaces, groceries, green space and schools are easily accessible for people of all ages.
For construction of houses in Kuala Lumpur, builders use anti-rusting metal and normal cement. To run these houses, a whole bunch of energy is supplied to run air conditioning, water heating systems, and electronic appliances because similar to Abu Dhabi, majority of the living space consist of apartment building. These apartment buildings require lots of energy to run. Malaysia can’t produce enough energy for the whole city due to a lack in resources, so the government imports its energy from multiple different countries.
Kuala Lumpur City Layout
For our zoning action plan, we’ve developed bike and pedestrian paths around the city in order to restrict the use of automobiles. Two solar panel areas in our neighborhood harness Kuala Lumpur’s energy. We’ve lastly planted in large green spaces in the neighborhood for a clean and fresh environment.
