PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION RESIDING IN URBAN AREAS IN 2014, SELECTED COUNTRIES
Cities now play a
more significant
role than every
before as our
home, as engines
of the national
economy, as a
consumer of
resources
Rapid urbanization :–
Year 1970 - 26.8% of total population are in urban areas
(2.79 million of urban dwellers).
Year 2010 - 71% of total population are in urban areas
(20.29 million of urban dwellers).
Forecast 2025 - 80% of total population are in urban areas
(27.30 million of urban dwellers).
With an average of 75% of GDP concentrated in the cities, they
are seen as engines of economic growth.
Economy growth concentrated in the main conurbation –
Greater Kuala Lumpur, Georgetown and Johor Bahru.

CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO TRANSFORMATION
Connectivity is keyProvision of infrastructure and basic facilities should be "people-
centric" that meets the needs of all segments of society
transit and land-use integration
TRANSFORMING INTO LIVEABLE CITIES
1. Distinctive local characters
2. Excellent physical and virtual connectivity
3. Good mix of development density and uses
4. Vital and high quality public realm : Parks and community spaces.
5. Placing a value to everyone in community : Dialogue & listening
6. Affordability and choices : multiple functions
7. Attractive business environment and diverse economic opportunities

Smart City Typology
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND LAND USE PLANNING
• Walkable Communities
(Transforms communities to be more
cohesive, healthy, safe, offers first
and last mile options)
• Increased transportation options
• Creating streetscape
• Mixed land uses & compact development
(Transforms communities to be more
vibrant, less dependent on cars)
• Safe and inviting pedestrian corridors
•Other first and last mile options
SMART GROWTH

Liveability Relationships between physical form and social interaction Not over-taken by cars
*Cities designed around automobiles, we had got it wrong
Low Speeds Traffic Calming Walkability Image of places Boulevards Intertwined systems Streets, transit, pedestrians uses, environment in fusion TODs Encourage public transport use and differentiate the development from urban
sprawl.

Public Transport Issues pertaining Supporting Facilities
Supporting facilities are not sufficiently considered in transportation system
Coordination between supporting facilities and transportation system missing in
transportation development sector
Supporting amenities provided are not fully utilized
• Supporting facilities are not provided• Supporting facilities are not properly
maintained
• Design not suitable with local situation• Lack of urban image formation• Lack of Quality control in providing supporting facilities• Local authorities do not implement guidelines provided
• supporting facilities placed at unsuitable location
•Provisions for the disabled, young children and the elderly
World Economic Forum – Global Risk 2015
East Asia and the Pacific is perceived as least prepared for interstate
conflict and failure of urban planning.

FAILURE OF URBAN PLANNING – A GLOBAL RISK IN ASIA
Public transport planning must not be done in isolation
Check its inter-relationships between landuse planning and national policies
High population density has a direct impact on the capacity of public transport network
Transport planning should be highly integrated with landuse planning/urban development
Mission supporting public transport is clear in national strategies

Integrate Landuse Planning and Public Transport Planning
SPAD ON THE MOVE! : RAIL
• Rail network continues to be the backbone of Malaysia’s public transport system.
• 2014 annual ridership 230 million.
• the new Electric Train Service (ETS) has transformed travel patterns in the west Coast.
• Gemas -Johor Bahru double tracking
• Rail usage is also the fastest growing among all modes of urban public transportation
• MRT1 and MRT2
• LRT : Public-centric commuting within Kuala Lumpur
• The (HSR) High Speed Rail and the Rapid Transit System (RTS) will transform socio-economic growth,
enhancing business and leisure travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore
• “Journey Planner”.
• Integrated Terminals
• Park and Ride
SPAD ON THE MOVE! : BUSES
The Interim Stage Bus Support Fund sustains the operations of 175 stage bus operators
and 659 routes. This has benefited more than 330,000 passengers per day
First BRT system in Malaysia, a 7 kilometre elevated track from Sunway Setia Jaya to
USJ 17 Subang Jaya
Buses remain a primary mode of transport in areas that are not covered by other public transit routes. Stage bus annual ridership for 2014 is 68 million for areas other than Kuala Lumpur, and 155 million for Kuala Lumpur
SPAD’s Stage Bus Transformation Programme (SBST) investment in key cities including Kangar, Seremban, Ipoh, and Kuala Terengganu to improve the rakyat’s accessibility
Bus Network Revamp (BNR) in 2015 by increasing bus capacity in congested routes and deploying new routes in underserved areas and neighbourhoods to drive a wider bus network

• ETS, transformation in travel behaviour. Inter-city mode switch.
• Housing and access to housing. To avoid mismatch in locations of public housing and Public Transport Provision.
• Getting urban communities together.
• Resilient Cities, Inclusive Cities
• International Visions and Local Needs, First mile and last mile, Feeder Services?
• Regulatory tools, road pricing
• Sustainable Transport/Low carbon cities
