Smart Cities

City plan: Kuala Lumpur’s city plan isn’t a 100 percent multi – nuclei plan. Due to this, people who live in some areas can’t access stores with their basic needs and throughout Kuala Lumpur also, you don’t find many pedestrian nor bike pathways. This means that citizens rely too much on vehicles to transport themselves around from place to place.  This way of transportation results in lots of carbon emission that’ll negatively affects the atmosphere. In order to fix this problem, we have come up with a solution which has made the city plan a full multi nuclei city. Within the city will be pedestrian and bike paths in order to decrease the reliability on automobiles. In every 1.5 kilometer in the city will be a neighborhood with more than people’s basic needs like food, water, and housing, recreational and green space.

Air Quality: Because Kuala Lumpur contains many factories and depends a lot on vehicles, the increasing carbon emission affect the air quality by making it unclean. This problem also chips in to the humid atmosphere of Malaysia. With the new city plan that encourages pedestrian and bike paths, we can reduce the pollution, which will result in the clean air quality.

Environmental standards: Less than half of the city’s departments have any environmental standards. You can barely get involved into environmental initiatives. In downtown Kuala Lumpur, you don’t find many recycling bins next to the normal bins. This means that the environmental standards are low because they don’t encourage strategies to make a clean city. To raise the standards and awareness towards the environment in Kuala Lumpur, in the new city we’ve designed a recycling area for paper, plastic, and glass.
