The Kuala Lumpur Agenda: Reviews and Recommendations for the Kuala Lumpur Draft Structure Plan 2040 & Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 by ICOMOS Malaysia.

Abstract

A review exercise undertaken by ICOMOS Malaysia to assess heritage policies published in the Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (KLCP2020), gazetted in November 2018 and the Kuala Lumpur Draft Structure Plan 2040 (KLDSP2040), launched in February 2020. Twelve ICOMOS Malaysia members and associates of diverse professional backgrounds formed an expert committee that met from October 2019 to April 2020. Their primary concern is the protection of Kuala Lumpur’s tangible and intangible heritage in the context of Kuala Lumpur as the capital of Federated Malay States (1896), the Federation of Malaya (1948) and the Federation of Malaysia (1963), and in the long-term impacts that the aspirations of the ‘World Class City’ (KLCP2020) and ‘A City for All’ (KLDSP2040) plans would have on the history, character and uniqueness of Kuala Lumpur.
