The public realm of Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) is instrumental in making the financial district a dynamic, lively urban nexus, a move away from the old-model sterile business center of the past.

TRX Public Realm is more than a landscaped environment or a single park; at a district scale, it functions as a system that supports daily movement, social life and long-term resilience within Malaysia’s leading International Financial District.

Crowned by the rooftop TRX City Park, the public space also includes parks, plazas, streetscapes, pedestrian corridors, and transit-oriented spaces, forming a continuous and accessible network that shapes how people experience the city at ground level.

Designed for active use, the TRX public realm supports high footfall, everyday commuting, social gatherings, corporate programs, wellness activities and large-scale events.
Environmental performance is embedded across the district through green corridors, extensive tree planting, biodiversity-supporting landscapes and nature-based solutions that mitigate urban heat, manage rainwater, and enhance microclimate comfort.

Early-stage preservation, including the protection of significant trees such as the Merdeka Tree, reinforces long-term ecological value.

Together, the TRX Public Realm demonstrates how landscape architecture can operate as integrated urban infrastructure, delivering economic, social, and environmental value beyond aesthetics.
