In a city as dynamic as Kuala Lumpur, the drive for urban renewal brings both opportunities and challenges. KLRA+ SD, a network of resident associations, NGOs, and academic institutions, is dedicated to advocating for policies that prioritise community interests over purely transactional property development. We speak to Tan Booi Charn (Chairperson, KLRA+ SD), Han Jun Siew (Volunteer, KLRA+ SD) and independent researcher Peter Leong, to discuss KLRA+ SD's efforts to create a sustainable and liveable Kuala Lumpur. They will also touch on pressing concerns surrounding the proposed Urban Renewal Act (URA), discussing issues like the role of DBKL, transparency in redevelopment processes, social safeguards for residents, and the importance of responsible urban renewal that respects community voices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rumah Tangsi, nestled at Lot 10 on Jalan Tangsi in Kuala Lumpur, stands as a heritage building steeped in history. Once the residence of Loke Chow Kit, a prominent entrepreneurial figure in early 20th-century Kuala Lumpur, this mansion boasts a bright yellow exterior and embodies European architectural styles. Its name, "Rumah Tangsi," reflects its location on Jalan Tangsi, previously known as Barrack Road, hinting at its past connection to police barracks. Over time, it underwent various transformations, serving as a pioneering modern hotel and later becoming the esteemed PAM Centre. Today, under DBKL's ownership, Rumah Tangsi stands as a thriving community hub and heritage event space, ideal for hosting a diverse range of events. We spoke with the director of Rumah Tangsi, Ar Ridha Razak, and senior architect of DBKL, Ar Noor Fazlina Rosley, about its history, restoration and conservation efforts, as well as its current use as one of KL's premier event spaces.Image: Rumah Tangsi's Instagram

The Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2040 (KLSP2040) is the highest planning document for Kuala Lumpur, and contains DBKL's proposed development policies for the next 20 years. According to DBKL, the KLSP2040 gives a detailed description of the development policies for Kuala Lumpur, and will account for the city's changing social landscape. The plan aims to address key issues such as public transportation, affordable housing, job opportunities and environmental quality improvement in Kuala Lumpur. It's mandatory for DBKL to publish the draft for public viewing and participation - which was done in 2020 - as all stakeholders must be given a chance to provide their input and have their concerns addressed, before the plan is gazetted. After a long silence, there was a recent briefing by DBKL, where stakeholders, including Selamatkan Kuala Lumpur, were surprised to learn that the Draft KLSP2040 had been revised and updated, and is pending endorsement by the Prime Minister. However, stakeholders have not been asked to give feedback to this new draft - why is this integral process of getting responses from stakeholders not being followed? We discuss the many issues surrounding the gazettement of this important plan with Datuk M. Ali, the Chairman of SKL, and Charles Tan, a member of SKL. Image Credit: SL Chen / Shutterstock.com
