Taking Kuala Lumpur To Greater Artistic Heights

The Star Metro, 19 Nov 2024

AS the capital city, Kuala Lumpur initially functioned as the nation’s trade, government, financial and judicial hub.

However, decentralisation caused people to move out of its inner city area to new townships.

Over time, these shifts and the administrative capital moving to Putrajaya led to many of Kuala Lumpur’s historical buildings being left vacant and decaying.

The capital needed rejuvenation and to be repurposed.

With this in mind, urban regeneration organisation Think City started a city restoration project that was formalised in 2019 as the Kuala Lumpur Creative and Cultural District (KLCCD) strategic masterplan.

Think City, a wholly owned subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Berhad, is an impact
organisation dedicated to creating sustainable and equitable places for all walks of
life. Through their expertise in urban solutions, the environment, social communities,
and the cultural economy, Think City believes that better cities make better lives, and
that every Malaysian deserves to live in a place that is vibrant, inclusive, and full of
possibility.
