| Abstract | Since the 1980s the major cities in Malaysia have witnessed a spate of urban redevelopment including institutional, office, and mixed-use complexes, shopping malls, educational establishments, and residential neighbourhoods. The current urban makeover in Malaysia is mainly market-driven and characterised by fast-track development, emphasis on catalyst megaprojects, infrastructure and global connections. Such an approach is often contrary to the basic principles of a smart city concept. This chapter provides a deeper understanding of the complexity of changing urban landscapes in Malaysia strongly influenced by globalisation and neoliberalism. By selecting three cities: Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and Melaka, the objectives of this study address the development patterns in these cities and evaluate how innovative and sustainable policies are applied to solve urban problems and achieve better smart city status. To this end, qualitative research methods such as literature review, qualitative analysis, secondary data collection, field surveys, and observations are employed. This study provides a deep insight analysis and evaluation of urban development in Malaysia and highlights the conflict between economic growth and progress and the principles of sustainable and smart urban environments. The outcomes of this study identify gaps in urban planning and management mechanisms that are essential for Malaysian cities to achieve a smart city status. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022. |
