Johor Bahru - Urban Development

Urban Development

The city has completed a number of urban development projects aimed at making the city centre friendlier to pedestrians:

  • Jalan Meldrum, formerly a two-way street, was narrowed into a single-lane street with an accompanying pedestrian mall having outdoor cafe kiosks.
  • The area around OCBC Bank and the City Council building was made more pedestrian-friendly.
  • Legaran Segget, or Segget Walk, was constructed.
  • Laman Tun Sri Lanang, a small park in the heart of the city, was constructed.

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or development:

    I have misplaced the Van Allen belt
    the sewers and the drainage,
    the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
    I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.
    —H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
