2. INTRODUCTION
The integration of the economic, social and environmental dimensions
of development was strengthened to promote sustainable
development. The Government has to implement measures to
improve the quality of life, promote sustainable consumption and
production, protect the environment; sustainably manage the natural
resource base; and enhance human, institutional and infrastructure
capacity. These measures also helped Malaysia’s implementation of
Agenda 21.

3. WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABILITY ?
Brundtland Commission’s report (WCED, 1987) defined
sustainable development as ‘development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs’. This definition
has attained universal traction and is seen by many who
recognize the current unsustainable nature of society as a
means of achieving sustainability.

5. KAJANG CITY
Kajang, with a population of 229,655 is a town in the eastern part
of Selangor, Malaysia (2.98 N, 101.77 E). It is located about
20 km south of Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur.

6. KAJANG GROWTH
Kajang has grown rapidly in the past few years. As of
2004, new Kajang townships have been developed and are
currently buzzing with night-life. These include the Prima
Saujana and Kajang Perdana (Kajang Highlands) housing
estates. Areas surrounding these new townships are easily
accessible via the new SILK Expressway.

7. PRIMA SAUJANA

8. Development quality
In Kajang we have to increase the quality of development
in all field and at long term by taking in account:
1-Health and quality of life.
2-Social equity and solidarity.
3-Environmental protection.
4-Access to knowledge.

9. Integrating Transport and Development
 promotion of linkages between environmental
protection, economic efficiency and social progress.
Under the environmental dimension.
 Transport must be effective and capable of adapting to
changing demands. Under the social dimension, the
objective consists of upgrading standards of living and
quality of life.
 Understanding the reciprocal influences of the physical
environment and the practices of the industry and that
environmental issues are addressed by all aspects of the
transport industry.

11. Environmental impact and travel demand
 . There are several interrelated ways in which transportation systems
can adapt to cope with transport demand and reach a better level of
sustainability:
1-The densification and agglomeration of activities can involve
spatial structures such as logistics zones or transit oriented
developments and can result in reduced vehicle trips and increase
some of the sustainable transport alternatives.
2-Full-cost pricing involves the full (or partial) recovery of costs
related to the public investments incurred by varying levels of
government in relation to constructing, repairing and operating
transport networks.
3-The strategy of traffic bans is a more direct method of reducing
traffic demand.

12. Development access
 Pedestrians, cyclists, public and private transport are parts of
every roadway environment.
 The attention must be paid to this part’s presence in rural and
urban areas.

13. It is important to recognize the forces influencing the demand
for provision of more and better pedestrian and cyclists
facilities, the demand for this facilities influenced by :
 The influence of topography.
 The nature of the local community.
 Car ownership .
 Local land use activities.
 Quality of provision.
 Safety and security.

14. Congestion and type of transport
 in order to reduce the congestion in a city we have to
draw up a plan to influence modal shift from private car
to public transport.

15. To reduce traffic congestion, some measures should be adopted
such as:
 improving the quality of bus services throughout the area
 Improving network coverage to give access to key facilities.
 Improving bus stations and bus stops to improve the waiting
environment.
 Improving the scope and range of information provided to
passengers.
 Maintaining a range of tickets which allow travel throughout the
network or can be used on trams and trains
In general plan networks due to long-term developments encourage
the use of public transport by it competitive advantage over private
car.

16. Parking
 Parking is the act of stopping a vehicle and leaving it
unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is
often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions.
Parking facilities are constructed in combination with
some buildings, to facilitate the coming and going of the
buildings' users.

17.  Parking controls, raising parking prices or reducing
the amount of parking areas, can be used to deter the
use of privately owned vehicles in areas of highest
demand by raising the price of commuting to high
density areas
 By use multi center strategy we can reduce the
traffic jam in the city center and solve the parking
problem and by construct Kajang Central in Kajang
station location ,all the parking problem will be
solved.

18. Urban design principles
To address the changes in urban design and planning, we are
considering the following principles:
1-Density,diversity, and mix uses : users, building type, and public
spaces.
2-transit supportive: shifting from car oriented pattern to transit
oriented pattern.
3-pesdestrains:as alternative modes to reduce car-dependency.
4-Place-making:with a strong sense of identity.
5-Complete communities :with providing needs of daily living.
6-Integrated natural systems: by conserving and enhancing health of
this system.

19. 7-Integrated Technical and Industrial Systems.
8-Local sources :by growing and producing the resources
needed.
9-Redundant and Durable: Life Safety and Critical
Infrastructure Systems.
10-Resilient Operations: by developing building types and
urban forms with reducing servicing cost , and reducing
environment footprints.

20. Context for overall plan
The strategies for the overall design character of a
proposal, to be attractive and function well, the plan should
take into account the following:
1- Respecting the local site

21. 2-Responding to the site

22. 3-creating attractive surroundings and spaces to live

23. safety and security
 Security and safety environmental sustainability are not
only compatible goals, but security is also a critical
component and integral part of sustainability.
 Sustainability has been considered the broader, with
more encompassing category, the role and importance of
security as an element of sustainability is often not
explicitly recognized.

24. Landscape and biodiversity
maintaining a patchwork of green spaces and ponds in
gardens and the public domain to produce a cumulative
benefit to wildlife.

25. Renewable energy
This is a three-step method for increasing the
sustainability of energy systems by:
1- Reducing the demand for energy
2-Applying renewable energy sources wherever
possible.
3-Filling in the remaining need as efficiently and
cleanly as possible with fossil fuels.

27. Air pollution has many disastrous effects that need to be curbed. In order to
accomplish this, governments, scientists and environmentalists are using or
testing a variety of methods aimed at reducing pollution.
Five major input control methods exist. People may try to restrict population
growth, use less energy, improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and move
to non-polluting renewable forms of energy production. Also, automobile-
produced pollution can be decreased with highly beneficial results.

29. Water quality and drainage
Water quality is defined in terms of physical, chemical and
biological characteristics. Drainage water is no different from
any other water supply and is always usable for some purpose
within certain quality ranges.
