 Putrajaya,
just outside the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, (bordering
on Malaysia's Silicon Valley of Cyberjaya) is designed as
an intelligent, Cyber-city and is the new federal government
administrative centre.
Designed as a model city, it is a thoroughly modern township
displaying the best of Malaysian design and architecture in
an environmentally-friendly setting of beautifully landscaped
lakes and parks.
Putrajaya encompasses the dual concept of intelligent city
and garden city. In keeping with this, 38% of the land area
is devoted to parks, lakes and wetlands. The latter provides
interesting getaways for visitors and an opportunity to learn
about the country's diversified tropical flora and fauna.
The urban areas in Putrajaya City are divided into precincts
and are devoted to government offices, commercial, residential
and recreational facilities. The buildings in the government
precinct feature smart building concepts with computerised
utilities and amenities.
