Consider This: Urban Design — When Every City Looks the Same

Look around Malaysia today and many of our cities can feel increasingly familiar, with the same buildings, malls, roads, and developments, despite the cities themselves having very different histories and communities. A new book ‘Where the Five Foot Way Ends: The Making of Malaysia's Everywhere Cities' examines the way we build cities, and asks what may have been lost along the way. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Shuhana Shamsuddin, President of the Malaysian Urban Design Association (PEREKABANDAR) and Syukri Bashri, Town Planner at the town planning consultancy, Rekarancang.
