The Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040 (PTKL 2040) aims to strike a balance between physical development and the preservation of the city’s cultural heritage, said Kuala Lumpur mayor Maimunah Sharif.

She said the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is working closely with the Department of National Heritage to ensure a dedicated framework is in place to safeguard heritage buildings across the capital.
