The Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan together generate over 16% of Malaysia’s GDP, serving as the nation’s administrative, financial and cultural core. Home to more than 2 million residents, the Territories anchor Malaysia’s capital region, with Kuala Lumpur advancing its ambition to be a globally competitive and liveable city. Through the CHASE City framework (Clean, Healthy, Advanced, Safe, Eco -friendly), the Federal Territories are turning over 110 vacant or under -occupied buildings in Kuala Lumpur into one of Southeast Asia’s largest adaptive reuse opportunities. The Federal Territories are embedding sustainability into urban governance and planning, advancing alignment with Malaysia’s net -zero pathway and circular - economy agenda.Economic Core and Urban Scale Transformation Potential Sustainability Leadership The Godown by Ling Hao Architects.
