Task 9

TASK 9

INTRODUCTION Urban planning is process concerned with

the control of the use of land and design of the urban environment, including transportation networks, to guide and ensure the orderly development of settlements and communities.

A sustainable society meets the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Assigned to design and plan the town of Kajang, Selangor. Kajang, is a town in the eastern part of Selangor, Malaysia. It is the district capital of Hulu Langat. The current locational gravity of growth in Kajang would be Sungai Chua. Kajang is governed by the Majlis Perbandaran Kajang

Quality development

Transportation Public transportation - enhance connective

network Integrated ticketing

Promote cycling & walking - provide pleasant and useful shortcuts routes to local facilities

Real time information – apps or gps system

Environmental impact

Development access

E. Parking Limit car parking ≤ standard Provides parking for disabled persons Secure cycle parking lorry and motor cycle parking

Parking Designi. Interlocking parking design

maximize the size of openings at the surface to maximize infiltration

trees are incorporated in tree grates, rotated 45 degrees which able to gather rainwater at the grates.

Vegetated parking system

ii. Automated parking design

about 75 percent of the footprint than a conventional parking structure

significant amount of emissions are eliminated automated parking structures is structural steel

which has a high recycled materials content.

iii. Green roof parking system reduced storm water control measures decreased maintenance/ restoration costs and the opportunity for additional uses

F. Urban Design Principles create green, sustainable places Compact, walkable places are the most

sustainable form of living.

Designing away the need for cars has the triple effect

-lowering our energy use-reducing global warming emissions-raising our quality of life in cities by increasing mobility and convenience.

i. Links through spaces

ii. Wrapping the box

iii. Mixed building uses and car parking

Access to facilities is more convenient. Travel-to-work congestion is minimised as this

allows potentially more journeys by bike or on foot. There is greater opportunity for social interaction Streets are generally more active at different times

of the day, bringing with it a greater feeling of safety

iv. Public and private space

Legibility – A place that has a clear image and is easy to understand. The main entrances to public and other major buildings should be emphasised through carefully designed streets, lighting, signage and paving.

G. Context The design, location and function of buildings can

help reinforce the identity of routes and spaces within the public

Well-designed public spaces can help people find their way around the city and provide informal recreational space

Open space parks design

Residential open space

Central business district green spaces

H. Safety and Security

shall provide sufficient police stations, police posts, police patrols Place the closed-circuit television (CCTV)

Design or redesign principles

i. LightingTo ensure the appropriate placement of

lighting to avoid shadows and glare which might put pedestrians at risk

ii. Natural surveillance and sightlines;To provide unimpeded sightlinesTo encourage natural surveillance from

surrounding buildings and land uses.

iii. Signage; To provide adequate, easily legible signage to

assist pedestrians, particularly older people and people with disabilities, to find their way safely.

iv. Building design; To reduce the risk of public buildings contributing

to crime or safety problems. For example, provide windows overlooking public

areas, avoid locating toilets, service areas and ramps in isolated areas and avoid designing features that create entrapment spaces.

vi. Management and maintenance. Promptly repair damage to public spaces to

ensure safety for all users and to reduce the risk of crime.

Use imaginative solutions to overcome vandalism problems, such as wallmurals painted by local street artists and formalising informal pathways subject to vandalism.

Landscape and Biodiversity

Do not develop the reserved forests like area in UKM

Rebuild . Replant . Recover

Green landscape in Kajang

Garden for those have big yard at home

Renewable Energy

Solar panel roof

Wind Power at hilly area

Wind Power collected in city.

Hydro Power in small stream

Air Quality

Increase usage of public transport

Planting in City

Water Quality and Drainage

Water treatment plant

Rainwater harvesting system

Drainage System (Tunnel)

Conclusion Authorities need to come up with sustainable plans to make use of the resources available in the highly populated areas

Help to promote development in an area as well as solve some of the problems that face urban areas such as high population and sanitation problems.

Enable correction of mistakes that had earlier being made in the design of urban areas

Environmental protection Sustainable infrastructure Health of a population Enough land to carry out agricultural activities
