Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (KLCP 2020) is an urban project in Malaysia which associates closely with Urban Design Guidelines and other important guidelines including the Building Guidelines, Street Guidelines, Landscape Guideline and Heritage Guidelines, to not only eradicate the existing urban issues, but also aim to transform Kuala Lumpur into a world class city by the year of 2020, with high standards of urban design (Refer to Appendix). The KLCP 2020 is a comprehensive and promising urban project, however, the attainability and efficacy can be further enhanced with the incorporation of street art. The effectiveness of street art in the city plan will be analyzed and explained in parts,

The outlined urban design strategies have focused on improving the connectivity in the city centre by enhancing human movement via strengthening the transportation and navigation system. Several precincts in Kuala Lumpur has been undergoing some upgrades, to implement an integrated transportation system called MY Rapid Transit (MRT) in which it will connect the LRT, KTM, monorail and bus system, in hope of emulating the transportation system of Hong Kong and Singapore (MRT), as a primary mode of transportation. This will indefinitely ease the movement/connectivity in the city, however, the other essential mode of transportation like walking and cycling cannot be neglected. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has implemented a car-free day twice a month as an effort to encourage the community to admire the cityscape as they walk and cycle. However, this has not been widely participated even after a year of implementation. This is mostly due to the fact that the government has failed to consider the environmental condition where the urban environment is only surrounded by buildings and minimal greeneries, and this has inadvertently contributed to the less than pleasant walking or cycling experience. Hence, the KLCP 2020 has aimed to improve the walking experience with
Question#1 Some people might think that abandoned, “ghetto” sites have become useless, uninspiring, invaluable and should be demolished to create a building in which people could inhabit or use with a purpose. Although, that is not always the situation, some places could be transformed into a building that is advantageous to all. To support this, it clearly states in Source#2 that “Through government partnerships, public art can also transform dull or run-down public spaces and inspire the people who live and work there. We believe that art is educational and belongs to all people.
Before industrialization, people would make time for walking, just as they would make time to eat and drink. Through the decades the activity of walking has transformed due to the suburbanization of society. Many people have changed the way they view walking; this is a result of being exposed to suburbs, technology, and automobiles. In Rebecca Solnit’s essay, “Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche” she argues that the cultural activity of walking is fading due to suburbanization. The suburbanized psyche changes the way people think; most people want to get to their destination as soon as possible instead of walking and enjoying the wonders of nature.
The intent and effectiveness of any presidential administration’s policies are often highly scrutinized and disputed. President Ronald Reagan’s policies in regards to urban communities, and most specifically to the urban poor, are no exception to that rule. This paper analyzes both Reagan administrations’ (singular or plural? Is or one administration or 2?) urban policies and the consequences of those policies.
The area can be improved by creating basic and affordable safety measures. The map identifies areas where cross walks and yields signs would create safer blocks in the neighborhood. This would also make the neighborhood less auto-centric and promote the walkability of the neighborhood. The weaknesses addressed the situation created by the separation of the neighborhoods and the lack of green spaces in some of these sections. This provides a great opportunity to provide green spaces in these sections, particularly in the low income and manufactured home parks.
A complete, and well maintained facility is not only visually appealing but is likely to quicker access between origin and destinations for utilitarian trips. In addition completeness of the walking environment is synonymous with safety, such that pedestrian don 't have to maneuver around obstructions putting them at
Urbanization, or the growth of cities, erupted during the Industrial Revolution. Cities were a place of work, innovation, and technology. Over the course of fifty years (1850-1900) more and more people moved to the cities, which caused more and more problems in them. With these problems came solutions, and those solutions led to change. These changes could be good like movements to get cleaner water or having plumbing.
What draws me to City Corps is my interest in protecting the city I call home. Being a "Brooklynite" in an low income neighborhood, life was not easy growing up as a black man. As a child, I lived through hardships like losing both my grandmother and my mother at before the age of 16. The joy I get from helping people is a feeling that never goes away, but is also a concept that is increasingly neglected and being replaced with racism. Being apart of the conversation is the only way you can begin to find a solution to the growing complex social issues in our society today.

Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner.

In the healthy city, the basic needs of the people are met in the most efficient way. Everyone works together to support each other in every aspect of their lives. The society values wisdom, courage, loyalty, and selflessness. The concepts behind Kallipolis are philosophical approaches to how a community can flourish with justice and happiness. However, the ideal city can be difficult to translate to real life.

Many aren’t aware of the problem we have with urban sprawl. Everywhere we go we see farmlands and forest being destroyed to build houses, offices, and parks. There are many issues towards urban sprawl in how it affects our country and certain areas that could affect individuals. We already have many environmental issues we have to deal with like global warming, climate changes, deforestation, and pollution. Urban sprawl has increased certain environmental issues starting with deforestation.
In recent decades, urban cities turned to become an attractive place for people from Different cultures to live in. This movement from different cultures to urban areas caused a significant change and development to urban cities and made it an extrovert area for different backgrounds. Cross (1989) defined culture as “ an integrated pattern of Human behavior that includes thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of a racial, ethnic, religious, or social group”(p.7). Nowadays, we are living and socializing with different cultures and backgrounds in urban areas, which lead to a significant change in our life. I believe that living in a cultural diversity city make us more extrovert and creative
