UNDER the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020, the city has five goals to achieve in order to assume its place as a major global city. First on the list is to enhance the role of the city as an international commercial and financial centre. Other goals in the plan are to create an efficient and equitable city structure, enhance the city's living environment, create a distinctive identity and image for the city, and have efficient and effective governance. Judging from the amount of property development activity going on in downtown Kuala Lumpur, especially in the construction of luxury condominiums and serviced apartments in the vicinity of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), at least one aspect of the plan is being implemented.
