| Summary: | In many respects, the City of Johor Baharu represents an urban area in which several of the
panaceas of contemporary town planning theory have been tested and successfully implemented.
Although urban poverty has not been fully eradicated, planners and policy-makers have continued
to experiment with textbook prescriptions on service hierarchies, public housing and integrated
transport to control urbanization pressures and channel growth, according to a planned spatial
distribution of land-use activities. There are obviously numerous economic and environmental
benefits. This paper has been inspired by a similar research which traces the morphology of
development plans within a physical planning regime in the Singapore Republic. Due to the City's
linkages in terms of physical location and development, a study carried out locally would help to
guide similar long-term development towards the achievement of specific planning goals and also
to monitor its impact on property development in and around the City areas |
