1. The New “X”City-PRASINOS
Introduction to Prasinos
Prasinos is a city built on the east side of Malaysia which is Pahang and the city is located in the center of
Taman Negara. The city is a small size city which is 35.17km2 and the is city is very near to the Gunung
Tahan. Prasinos is a new green city and it mainly design for those citizen that love the nature. Eco-tourism
will be the theme of the city. Prasinos will have busting economic activity and it providing its citizen and the
country a certain amount of income. The aim of the city is to function as commercial,education and tourism
hub. Prasinos promises healthy sustainable living, a new clean and green environment, efficient transport
and economic growth to its citizens.
Prasinos is a city which is in square shape.As we can see that the location have high ground and low ground
the high ground is untouched zone and it will becomes a forest reserve area.The estimated population of
Prasinos is around 100,000-250,000 people.
The word “Prasinos” is from Greek which means green.This name that created is indicated that the city will
mainly focus on green and nature live style.The Prasinos will divide into two parts which is high ground and
low ground.The high ground will be untouched and it will create as forest conserve area and theme park.The
lower ground will be divide into 4 layer due to the concept of tropical rainforest in Malaysia .

2. Why I created this city in Malaysia?
Job
BUILDINGS
The population of Malaysia is booming and keep
increasing from day to day.As Malaysiais a small
country ,the is not much land available for new
development and create more living space
unless we keep on chop down our precious
rainforest. Malaysia is a beautiful country that
rich in natural resources hence we should use it
wisely by not destroyed them instead of leaving
it. As a nutshell ,the most logical solution to use
our rich natural resources is by creating a city in
the forest so that tourist and citizen can enjoy the
natural and release their pressure in the natural.
A complete city should include some job opportunities so that citizen income and the economy
system of the city will be stable .Hence here is the example of industry area I will created for the
citizen:
1) Tourism I ndust r y
2) I ndustrial I ndustry
3) Agricultural Industry
4) Education Industry

3. SKY scraper
Buildings are the important basic to build up a city.A complete city should include different kind
of facilities so that the city can be move on smoothly.Here are the buildings that I include in my
city:
1) Government buildings ,law and admistration
2) School and University
3) Solar panels ,Technology hub ,Wind harvesting
4) Agriculture ,Product processing ,Waste management ,Fertiliser production ,Biomass
production , Recycling centre, Solar panels, Wind harvesting
5) Religious centre ,Food Court, Residential Buildings, Entertainment places, Walkways
6) Green forest, Green garden, Sports & recreation, Theme park, Culture activities
Port , Site of exchange of materials , Shopping malls

4. Residential area
Every good city will have a significant tower which called as sky scraper. For example,
our mother country Malaysia have KLCC Twin tower which is the significant tower of
this country. So this is the design of sky scraper of my city. The design shape is looks
like a flower and this shows the nature theme of my city. This sky scraper is used as
government buildings, law and administration center. On the top of the roof had set up
solar panel to absorb the sunlight and convert it into electrical energy for the
building .This building will placed at the highest ground of the city so that it can absorb
the maximum sunlight.

5. Every city have its own resident and every
own resident have its own residential
area.From the research of modern city,most
of their building are schematic and standard
shape to indicate that there are same type of
building in their city.Hence,in my city I design
all the trees on the top of the tree which called
it as tree house but the houses that build is in
modern way so that resident can enjoy
modern lifestyle in nature.

6. Eco Tourism – ESCAPE theme park
ESCAPE is PRASINOS new genre of theme playground with interesting trips and tasks for
everyone. ESCAPE is expected to become a world-class convenience and tourism destination
that promotes a recognition of nature in an enjoyable and captivating manner.
One more significant
attraction is the Tubby
Racer, where you could
toss on your own down a hill
in a sizable rubber tyre.
Other popular tourist
attractions are the bungee
leap system, Atan’s Leap,
as well as the Gecko
Tower, where you can pit
yourself against the clock,
and other competitors, to
transport on yourown to the
best of the tower as soon as
possible.
Entrance fee is 60 ringgit for grownups and 45
ringgit for under-12s and over-60s. Three to
four hrs would be sufficient to obtain your
money’s well worth, although if you wish to
think about some leisure time and rent among
the cabanas, or if you simply want to take your
time and let the children run around a part,
then you might effortlessly spend the day right
here.

Open daily, 9:00 to 18:00

7. Masdar city
(Abu Dhabi,United Arab Emirates)
Masdar City is an arcology project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a
planned city, which is being built by Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company,
with the majority of seed capital provided by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the
British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city relies on solar energy and other
renewable energy sources. The city is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies. Its first
tenant is the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology.
In term of transportation:
The initial design banned automobiles, as travel will be
accomplished via public mass transit and personal rapid transit
(PRT) systems,with existing road and railways connecting to other
locations outside the city. The absence of motor vehicles coupled
with Masdar's perimeter wall, designed to keep out the hot desert
winds, allows for narrow and shaded streets that help funnel cooler
breezes across the city
In term of architectural design:
Masdar is a sustainable mixed-use development designed to
be very friendly to pedestrians and cyclists. Masdar City has
terracotta walls decorated with arabesque patterns. From a
distance, the city looks like a cube. A 45-meter (148 ft) high
wind tower modeled on traditional Arab designs sucks air from
above and pushes a cooling breeze through Masdar's streets.
The site is raised above the surrounding land to create a slight
cooling effect. Buildings are clustered close together to create
streets and walkways shielded from the sun.
Personal View:
Masdar City is a great city which mainly concern on green state of living,whilist expanding
alongside the growth of technology.Strong economical structure and well-developed transport
system is the things I should learn and apply in my city.The public mass transportation which
can reduce amount of carbon emissions is a good design that should be use wisely in all city
include my city.The climate of Abu Dhabi and Malaysia is almost same so I hope I can apply
the good concept of its city into my city.

8. VANCOUVER, CANADA
Vancouver in Cananda now consistently performing well in worldwide “livable city” rankings,
Vancouver has an ambitious goal of becoming the “the greenest city in the world” by 2020.
They already lead the world in hydroelectric power—making up 90 percent of its supply—as
well as regularly tapping into renewables like wind, solar, and wave power.
For the mass transit, bike lanes (248 miles worth), ride sharing programs, and greenways,
Vancouver has the lowest per capita carbon emissions of any major city on the continent.
As part of their 2020 goals, they aim to decrease emissions an additional 33 percent, while also
enacting strict green building codes (all new developments must be carbon neutral) and
improving the energy efficiency of existing structures by 20 percent.
One area where Vancouver could improve is in their use of electric vehicles. The Vancouver
Electric Vehicle Association estimates there are only 20 pure electric vehicles on city roads.
This is largely due to availability, with the Chevy Volt only just released in Canada and the
Nissan Leaf expected later this fall. While there are only 15 charging stations currently planned,
city officials are planning more for the future and expect EVs to account for 15 percent of new
vehicle sales in Vancouver by 2020.

9. Personal View:
Vancouver in Cananda is a well develop green city.The design of their city is in modern and
high technology form.While they develop a city they will concert about the importance of natural
and build up the renewable energy source as their main source in daily life.This is the good
example that I should learn from it apply to built in my future city.Their electric vehicle is also
one of the good idea that can be generate and improve it in my city.This city will be one of the
best example that I will look up when I built my city.

10. Culture
Culture Activities
The culture of Malaysia draws on
the varied cultures of the different
people of Malaysia. The first
people to live in the area were
indigenous tribes that still remain;
they were followed by the Malays,
who moved there from mainland
Asia in ancient times. Chinese and
Indian cultural influences made
their mark when trade began with
those countries, and increased
with immigration to Malaysia.
Hence when we build the city we
should concern about our country
culture.
Here are the example list of cultural buildings that built
in my city:
1) Mosque
2) Chinese Temple
3) Church
4) Hindu Temple
Joget Melayu ,a Malay dance
There are some various culture activities will be held in PROSINOS:
Wayang Kulit
Lion Dance

11. Agriculture
Agriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel,
medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.Agriculture was the key
development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated
species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.
The major agricultural products
can be broadly grouped into foods,
fibers, fuels, and raw materials.
Specific foods include cereals
(grains), vegetables, fruits, oils,
meats and spices. Fibers include
cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax.
Raw materials include lumber and
bamboo. Other useful materials
are produced by plants, such as
resins, dyes, drugs, perfumes,
biofuels and ornamental products
such as cut flowers and nursery
plants.
The main agricultural productwill be plant in
PRASINOS are:
1) Sugar cane
2) Maize
3) Rice
4) Wheat
5) Potatoes
6) Sugar beet
7) Soybeans
8) Cassava
9) Tomatoes
10)Barley

12. Waste management
The increasing number of municipal solid waste management has become the biggest
environmental problem in Malaysia . Population growth has led to the increase in generation of
solid wastes in Malaysia and it has become a crucial issue to be solved. The waste generated
are from sources like domestic, industrial and commercial and it shows an increasing trends
throughout the world. Due to this reason, solid waste management plays an important role in
maintaining a sustainable environment.
In addition, construction waste is
part of the waste generated and
categorized under solid waste
constructionwaste materials can
be defined as the comprising of
unwanted materials generated
during construction.
Furthermore, pollution caused
by construction waste has
caused negative impacts
towards the environment and
leads to economic lose
From my opinion , waste product
should be generated accordingly so
that the nature can be conserved
and the pollution would not happen
in PRASINOS.
Hence,there will be a waste
management factories to clean up
the waste product in the city

13. Fertiliser production
A fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is
applied to soils or to plant tissues (usually leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients
essential to the growth of plants. Fertilizers enhance the growth of plants. This goal is met in
two ways, the traditional one being additives that provide nutrients. The second mode by which
some fertilizers act is to enhance the effectiveness of the soil by modifying its water retention
and aeration. Fertilizers are commonly used for growing all crops, with application rates
depending on the soil fertility, usually as measured by a soil test and according to the particular
crop. Legumes, for example, fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and generally do not require
nitrogen fertilizer.
From my opinion,use the waste
product of human,plants and animal
to produce fertilizer is a kind of good
low budget and high efficient
method in boots up PRAZINOS
economic.

14. Recycling
Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of
potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy
usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing
the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared
to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third
component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of
glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and
electronics. The composting or other reuse
of biodegradable waste—such as food or
garden waste—is also considered recycling.
Materials to be recycled are either brought
to a collection center or picked up from the
curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and
reprocessed into new materials bound for
manufacturing.
From my opinion , recycle
centre should be built up in
city so that the pollution rate
of the city can be
decrease .Reduce ,Reuse
and Recycle the recyclable
item should be keep practice
by citizen so that can keep
our forest city clean and
green

15. Solar panel
Solar panel refers either to a photovoltaics (PV) module, a solar hot water panel, or to a set of
solar photovoltaics modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. A
PV module is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells. Solar panels can be used as a
component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and
residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test
conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts. The efficiency of a module determines
the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have
twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that
are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of
power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a
panel or an array of solar modules, an inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker
and interconnection wiring.
From my opinion, PRASINOS is a good city to install and place the solar panel due to its
hot climate.PRASINOS is located at Malaysia and most of the day is sunny day so that if
build up solar panel can save up the city electric fees and is more green and more high
technology.

16. WIND power
Wind power is extracted from air flow using wind turbines or sails to produce mechanical or
electrical power. Windmills are used for their mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping,
and sails to propel ships. Wind power as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable,
widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and uses little
land. The net effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from
nonrenewable power sources.
Large wind farms can consist of hundreds of individual wind turbines which are connected to the
electric power transmission network.
From my opinion,wind power is a good
source which have low budget and can get
high efficient new technology which can be
apply in PRASINOS.The wind power can
work with solar energy which the solar
energy set as main energy in the city and
wind power energy set as backup energy in
the city.By using wind power energy can
reduce down the pollution and it is more
green and more nature.
