KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — A quiet transformation is underway in Malaysia’s capital. Beneath the skyscrapers and flyovers, planners are trying to reconnect the city’s historic heart through a series of shaded corridors, pocket parks and pedestrian-friendly back lanes.

Called the Green Corridor Network, the plan aims to make Kuala Lumpur a city built for walking again — linking its landmarks, neighbourhoods and heritage streets into one continuous, human-scale route.

--Reclaiming the streets--

For decades, Kuala Lumpur’s growth has been driven by cars. Pavements broke apart, green spaces were isolated, and walking between districts became inconvenient or unsafe.
