A review of the structure plan of the Klang Town. Proposal includes analysis of existing traffic circulation, pedestrian paths, parking facilities, landscape planting and street furniture of the Town Centre. The project is appointed by Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) to carry out designs to improve the streetscape and pedestrian amenities, and also to provide a link from the post office areas to the Jalan Kampar areas. The design sought to reinforce the existing pedestrian facilities at the bus station and post office areas. The final master plan and detailed design incorporates a clock tower, sunken plaza, water feature, seating and street furnitures treatment.

Seating areas

The aim is to achieve a modern plaza concept whilst incorporating a local architectural style. It is designed to complement the nearby shopping centres, hotels and commercial areas, by way of a pedestrian walkway linking these areas. The plaza is provided with a water arena with seating areas, exhibition and multi-purpose areas, children’s playground, and car parking areas for tourist coaches, motorcycles and motor cars. The coach and motorcycle parking areas have been set aside for a possible future development site.

Water Plaza

The main focal point of the Mahkota Square Water Plaza is the Sunken Plaza. It incorporates seating areas with a central circular stage for singing or cultural performances. The Sunken Plaza is surrounded with three fountains and cascading pools. A water curtain acts as a focal point viewing from the entrance archway.

The fountains consist of a series of sprays, jumping and bubble jets. The jumping fountains provide vitality and life to this recreational plaza. In the evening, the water curtain with its fine mist sprays will create a rainbow, an ideal setting for photograpy. Landscaping lighting in and around the water plaza lures tired shoppers and visitors to the area.

Exhibition And Multi-purpose Areas

These open areas will be used for various outdoor exhibitions for promotion of cultural performances during various festivals, e.g. Hari Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year.

Children Play Area

An integrated play equipment area catering for all age groups. A gazebo is located at the adjacent site for the parents to monitor their children.
