GREEN INITIATIVES

Shah Alam Urban Track Shah Alam, Selangor

The project started in 2012, as one of the Green Initiatives. The city council took the bold step to lay a dedicated bike and pedestrian way that provides safety, comfort and freedom of space for the section 4 residence precincts. The 6.8 km, 3.5 meter wide urban trail allows for recreational leisure and a safe commute for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Shah Alam Community Farm Shah Alam, Selangor

In response to the national agenda to reduce urban poverty and food crisis in developing countries while improving food security, the Seksyen 8 community farm is the beginning and a good reference for the implementation of community farms in other neighbourhood areas in Shah Alam and with improvement from time to time to showcase good agricultural practices in the city.

Alur Teratai Pasir Gudang, Johor

Alur Teratai at Taman Bandar, Pasir Gudang, was a former drainage trench that divided the small green area. Before the transformation of Alur Teratai, the existing area was uninviting, causing unhealthy social activities and vandalism within this area. The area was transformed into a recreational area by upgrading the existing drainage system to a stream that creates a natural and peaceful environment throughout the area. By adding walkways and hardscape elements such as concrete seating, the area became a new attraction to Taman Bandar, fully functional for Pasir Gudang's residents to undertake many activities while enjoying the serenity of the natural environment.
