2. Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan,
1984
The master plan is in the form of a written statement covering the overall
development of the Federal
Territory of Kuala Lumpur. First published in 1984 and revised in 1994,
the Plan contains the broad goals and objectives, policies and proposals
concerning development, land use, the improvement of the social, economic
and physical environment, and traffic management within the Federal Territory
of Kuala Lumpur. The Plan has a perspective period of 20 years, up to the
year 2000, and will be reviewed periodically. It is divided into two components:
KLSP and local plans (figure I).
The administrative policies of the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur include:
-
Allowing commercial developments along the major arteries of the city;
-
Balanced development: dispersal of commercial offices, retail outlets etc.
outside the city centre;
-
Conservation policies;
-
Provision of low-cost housing;
-
Encouraging residential development in the city;
-
Encouraging hotel development;
-
Apartment/condominium construction limited to three storeys in 14 low-density
areas of the city.
All applications are technically evaluated to ensure that they comply not
only with policies but also planning standards and guidelines. City
Hall of Kuala Lumpur follows a planning and development process for each
project or development that is proposed or undertaken in the city (figure
II).
