KUALA LUMPUR: The government has allocated RM1mil to support projects that will revitalise Downtown Kuala Lumpur.

The funds will be channeled through the Downtown Kuala Lumpur Grants Programme 2026, which started in 2020 and was spearheaded by placemaking organisation Think City with the Finance Ministry's support.

Each successful applicant will receive grants ranging from RM30,000 to RM100,000, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh.

She said revitalising the city centre requires strong partnerships between the government and the private sector, foundations, community organisations and other stakeholders.

Established in 2009, we are an impact organisation delivering on urban policy advisory, urban projects and venture building with the sustainable development goals as our guide.
