Pedestrian pathways and connectivity, road and transportation networks are also planned, and all based on environmental sustainability and ‘Caring Society’, in line with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach and design principals. Pedestrian linkages have now become important due to residents’ awareness of reducing carbon emissions through human activities such as walking and cycling to school, parks and other destinations. Through well-known green initiatives, the community and schools, together with Perbadanan Putrajaya, have upgraded the pedestrian tunnel Precinct 8 to make it safe and comfortable for children to use daily. The project has successfully demonstrated the ‘caring society’ role of the community in landscape and city planning principals, through enhancement of the landscape and the mural painting project.
