KUALA LUMPUR: Fifty years after becoming the first settlement in Malaysia to be granted city status on Feb 1, 1972, Kuala Lumpur is now moving towards becoming a more sustainable, resilient and prosperous city for more than its two million people.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mahadi Che Ngah said to achieve the aspiration as well as the Kuala Lumpur City For All vision by 2040, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall would focus on efforts to strengthen governance, traffic management and flood prevention.

Mahadi said among the aspects that are being fine-tuned is efforts to improve first- and last-mile connectivity which includes pedestrian walkways, to achieve the target of 70% public transport ridership by 2040. "For example, we were more prepared to control the floods that hit Kuala Lumpur recently through the prevention efforts and the use of the monitoring application that enables us to take rapid action to prevent flash floods," he said.

In line with the importance of dynamic and sustainable governance, Mahadi said DBKL also placed emphasis on urban planning best practices such as low carbon emission, congestion-free, pedestrian-friendly and having adequate facilities.
