To empower the marginalized in Chow Kit, the Urban Sanctuary is an urban farming center that provides an opportunity to build a self sustaining community
As the B 40 and homeless groups face socio economic imbalance, they lack the access to basic needs . The center caters to these underprivileged communities by focusing on food production in a sustainable manner .
The Urban Sanctuary aims to inspire and reconnect the people by providing means to support oneself by independent effort Urban farming is an experience based activity that teaches people about cultivating plants and producing food The programme provides job opportunities for the B 40 groups that struggle with unemployment to help sustain their livelihoods .

The site is in Chow Kit, along the corner of Jalan Abdul Rahman Idris and Lorong Haji Hussein 2 . The area is mostly surrounded by eateries and markets .















The urban farm provides fresh produce for the market . They are located on all levels with traditional soil based and hydroponics farms . This is to integrate green spaces throughout the whole building
