Overview
TRX City is committed to transforming Kuala Lumpur’s urban landscape while ensuring meaningful engagement with the communities surrounding Tun Razak Exchange (TRX). As a national project poised to reshape the city, TRX City prioritises collaboration with various government agencies and authorities to seamlessly integrate TRX into its neighbouring areas.
Designed to blend harmoniously with its surrounding, TRX City has played a pivotal role in rejuvenating Kuala Lumpur’s ageing central district, enhancing accessibility, and elevating the city’s status into a vibrant and liveable capital.
Achievements and Outcome
Major beautification works have been carried out in key areas, such as Jalan Barat and Jalan Utara, which are crucial to integrating TRX with Imbi and Bukit Bintang. Streetscape improvements, including tree-lined pathways and natural shading, further contribute to a more comfortable and inviting urban experience. The rejuvenation and infrastructure enhancements have significantly made Kuala Lumpur more pedestrian-friendly. This is further supported by the presence of the TRX MRT interchange station which reduces reliance on cars, making the capital more connected and sustainable.
Participants and Targets
TRX City actively engaged with stakeholders throughout the construction phases. Through regular site audits and by actively exchanging feedback with DBKL, local businesses, residents, and community leaders, their concerns are heard and addressed. This enables TRX City to proactively implement solutions in minimising disruptions and maintaining convenience for businesses and residents alike.
TRX is a catalyst for urban rejuvenation as its surrounding neighbours can also benefit from the infrastructure upgrades, streetscape enhancements, MRT interchange station, and dedicated public spaces. By ensuring porosity, it allows older businesses to have access to a new customer base, which can enhance the attractiveness of the neighbourhood and boost its overall value.
As a model for sustainable urban transformation, TRX demonstrates how modernity can coexist with community interests. By involving local businesses and residents from the planning stage all the way through development, it creates a sense of shared ownership and belonging in making the city a better place for all.
