Rationale why Iskandar Malaysia has adopt LCS

Timely for developing countries like Malaysia to adopt the pathway towards a low carbon society – due to high increase in greenhouse gas emission and increasing public awareness.

Many developing countries need clean technologies, energy efficiency technology, cost-effective RE that would allow them to expand their economies while curbing emissions.

Pathway towards LCS requires concerted effort from the experts, government and political will to realise the vision.

There is no doubt that urban land use planning policies i.e. at building scale to city-scale will have important implications for energy demand and supply which will in turn affect environmental sustainability.
