Question: URBAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN MALAYSIA

Answer: INTRODUCTION

Malaysia’s modern urban growth, development and urbanisation experiences may be conveniently periodised into three major periods, based on the form, structure and functions of the urban centres. Urbanisation began as the founding of urban areas and urban growth during the British colonial rule, roughly covering the period 1887-1956. This was followed by urban growth, development and increasing urbanisation in the early years of independence, 1957-1969 ( Hamzah Sendut 1962; 1965; Yeoh and Hirschman 1980), and urban explosion and urban areas as growth centres in the export industrialisation period, 1970-1997 (present).
