2 Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020

The Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 (Plan) contains insights, goals, objectives and
recommendations to guide the development of Kuala Lumpur (City) for the next 20 years. It
does not contain detailed physical planning recommendations for a specific area. Detailed
physical recommendations will be included in the next phase of the development plan,
namely, the local plan.

The plan will include details of the various components relevant to the City's development
namely economic and population base, land use and development strategies, trade, tourism,
industry, transport, infrastructure and utilities, housing, community facilities, design urban
and landscape forms, the environment and specific areas. These components, though unique,
are interconnected and fully complementary. As such, the policies and recommendations for
each component are aimed at providing a unified, efficient and progressive city.

Policy
UD 6: CHKL will take steps to improve the
visual definition, continuity and character
of the main street and road network, to
reinforce the connection and clarity within
urban areas.
Description
The clarity of a city is important in helping
one to orient itself within and outside the
City. Roadside decorations that create
simple urban corridors and focal points can
help reinforce the basic clarity of the street
system. Road decor and facade should
include the theme of tree planting,
landscaping, street furniture and signage.
The pattern of intersection of the main
streets that will strengthen the bond and
clarity

UD 16: CHKL will establish and implement
pedestrian-friendly networks as well as
green pedestrian networks in the City
Center, city centers, major activity centers
and areas around the transit terminal that
will also meet the needs of the elderly and
disabled.
The pedestrian system policy will be further
developed and expanded in the City Center
and other city centers, including establishing
a pedestrian master plan for existing and
new areas. Two pedestrian networks are
proposed in the City Center, as shown in
Figure 14.7. This network when combined
with the potential road connections as
shown in Figure 14.4 will create a pedestrian
and landscape structure for the City Center.

An extensively used urban road network will

connect existing shopping malls with a well-
defined, comfortable pedestrian network
that will feature retail outlets, restaurants,
dining areas and tourism activities. The
network will include pedestrian walkways
within the building that will link activity

UD 17: CHKL will build a continuous closed
access system that will connect the main
centers of activity in the City and areas
with busy pedestrian activities.
UD 18: CHKL will ensure adequate
provision of pedestrian connectivity for
neighboring areas disconnected by road
and rail infrastructure.
points, stops and exchanges of transport,
parks, plazas and historic areas to provide
ongoing access to the City.
A parallel pedestrian green network,
separated from the main road and using
part of the green network will offer an
alternative to slower and informal
movement.
At the local precinct scale, the network will
be integrated into a transparent and
dispersed system, based on intersections
and existing transit terminals and activity
centers.
In the overall structure, the landscape and
design of the street furniture and garden
furniture will have their own and varied
themes, to create character and emphasis
on different connecting systems and
elements.
Parents with disabilities should be able to
easily use pedestrian networks. The use of
low road jams, lifts, surface textures and
other tools extended the entire pedestrian
network. CHKL will ensure that new
developments are linked to the pedestrian
network to implement these measures.
Sunshine and rain showers will be provided
in appropriate areas especially in pedestrian
areas and around transit stations. The link
needs to be fully integrated with the street
landscape.
In areas separated by the main road or rail
infrastructure, pedestrian access links will
be provided at selected crossroads to
benefit residents in both areas. These
connectors should be comfortable,
attractive and well-designed to provide
protection from sun and rain and reach all
users.
