Searching For KL’s Soul

Shuhana Shamsuddin, PEREKA BANDAR

Searching For KL’s Soul

The draft for the KL Structure Plan 2040 has outlined many components that are deemed to be important in the development of the city for the future, but one important piece is missing - the conversation surrounding the identity of the city. A new association in town called Pereka Bandar (or Malaysian Urban Design Association in English) is looking to persuade DBKL to start incorporating it in the draft. The president of the association, Shuhana Shamsuddin, joins us to share the importance of thinking about the identity of the city.
