Kuala Lumpur come 2020

In May 2008, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) released a document entitled 'Draft Kuala Lumpur 2020 City Plan' which aims to mark out the direction of development for the city of Kuala Lumpur until the year 2020. Many see the publishing of this draft plan as a step in the right direction because it allows everyone, from city dwellers to developers, to see a more transparent plan of the city. Even so, there are strong arguments that this draft plan is fundamentally flawed and needs to be re-drafted.
