Experts call out the lack of walkable streets in the country and urge for change.
Wan Agyl Wan Hassan wants wider walkways with proper lighting, sitting areas, and curbside designs that allow access for people with disabilities.
He called for more research and analysis to gather community feedback and understand traffic flow before coming up with a city planning strategy to improve walkability. “Mix” refers to complementary functions and primary uses such as residential, retail and hospitality, while “access” refers to the number and type of streets used for connections, he said.
To improve on the comfortability aspect, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin said more shady trees should be planted along the walkways to make them more conducive to walking in Malaysia’s tropical weather. Speaking to FMT later, Parsons said that one of the easiest ways to further improve walkability in the country is to increase the connectivity of walkways at public transportation stations to surrounding neighbourhoods and activity centres.
