Kuala Lumpurs vision is to be a World Class City

Kuala Lumpur promotes the concept of growth with

distribution, physical and social sustainability, economic

justification as well as a fair and efficient government,

provisions of public amenities and good quality of life in the

pursuit of a knowledgeable society.

A Vision for a World Class City

The vision for Kuala Lumpur - A

World Class City , encapsulates the

ambition to make Kuala Lumpur a city

that will assume a major global and

sub-global role for the benefits of all

its communities, workers, visitors and

investors. The Kuala Lumpur Structure

Plan 2020 (KLSP 2020) emphasizes

that the vision and goals of Kuala

Lumpur have been formulated with

the aims of creating a sustainable

city with City Hall ensuring that

the planning for Kuala Lumpur will

strike a balance between physical,

economic, social and environmentaldevelopment.

Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 is Kuala

Lumpur City Halls primary planning

and development strategy. The Plan

sets out a twelve year plan on what

must happen to achieve the vision for

the City of Kuala Lumpur in 2020. This

will guide decision makers, city

planners, designers and builders

the direction of growth for Kuala

Lumpur and lead the city into a

World Class City status.

Kuala Lumpur World Class City

This vision is a commitment that

by the year 2020, the City of Kuala

Lumpur will have made many

positive changes to the physical

environment without compromising

the local environment and its

ecology. It also commits to create aliveable and attractive environment

for residents, businesses and visitors.

The KL City Plan 2020 has adopted a

set of strategic directions to realise

this vision and they are centred on

the five main goals of the KLSP 2020.

Goal 1To enhance the role of Kuala Lumpur

as an international commercial and

financial centre.

Goal 2To create an efficient and equitable

city structure.

Goal 3To enhance the city living

environment.

Goal 4To create a distinctive city identity and

image.

Goal 5To have an efficient and effective

governance.

These goals are the framework for

Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020, in

which its greatest challenge is the

implementation of the goals and

policies to achieve environmental,

social and economic development

simultaneously; where the

improvement of one will not be to

the detriment of the other.

National DevelopmentContext

National Physical Plan (NPP) 2005-2020

The National Physical Plan (NPP) is a long

term national level plan for the period

until 2020. NPP spells out policies that

determine the direction of physical

development and conservation areas

within Peninsular Malaysia. The main

goal of the NPP is to create an efficient,

equitable and sustainable national

spatial framework to guide the overall

development of the country towards

achieving a competitive developed nation

status by the year 2020.

NPP defines Kuala Lumpur Klang Valley

Seremban areas as the National Growth

Conurbation which effectively covers anarea of approximately 504,000 hectares

and is to provide for a potential population

of 8.5 million or 32% of the Peninsular

Malaysia population by 2020. This means

that the premier city of Kuala Lumpurs

regional population is more than seven

times Kuala Lumpurs population of 1.4

million (2005).

The strong regional population base

will enhance Kuala Lumpur role as an

International Regional Commercial and

Financial Centre. Thus the Kuala Lumpur

City Plan 2020 will be a flexible document;

one that is attractive to investments, able

to accommodate new economic activities

as well as cater for the increasing job

opportunities in the city.

Kuala Lumpur City will be the key

beneficiary to the NPPs regional

strategy. Regional linkages via rail

to Johor Bharu and George Town

conurbation will further strengthen

Kuala Lumpurs position and the vision

for World Class City becomes more

significant in the local context of the

NPP.

Ninth Malaysia Plan

It is Kuala Lumpurs national mission

to take upon the Ninth Malaysia Plan

2005-2020 call for cities to be more

competitive to meet global challenges.

In doing so it aims to obtain greater

performance for the importance of

a joint national effort to ensure the

achievement of nation building.

NPPS OBJECTIVES:

To rationalise national spatial planning for economic efficiency and globalcompetitiveness.

To optimise utilisation of land and natural resources for sustainabledevelopment.

To promote balanced regional development for national unity; and

To secure spatial and environmental quality and diversity for a high qualityof life.
