Property investors, researchers, and governmental organisations may now get a digital plan of Kuala Lumpur's planning information online much more quickly, readily, and conveniently through the eMAP CPS (City Planning System) service.

 

According to Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mahadi Che Ngah, digital planning information plans based on geospatial mapping comprised current land usage according to parliamentary constituencies, gazette plans, planning control layer plans, as well as land zoning and density plans.

 

He emphasised that, in the past, consumers had to physically visit the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) City Planning Department to receive a digital plan of planning information in hard copy, Bernama reported.

 

"Now they have the option of obtaining it online. This initiartive can speed up and simplify matters in terms of application, payment and downloading the purchase of a digital plan of planning information in addition to making it more transparent and efficient," he told reporters after the launch of the service recently.

 

"The digital planning information of Kuala Lumpur is very important especially to investors for them to plan investment strategies and can also be used for scientific purposes and discussion at the community level by various other parties," he said.
