Consider This: KL City (Part 2) — Preserving Heritage Icons

How important is it that funds allocated are used to retain historical authenticity rather than simply giving these buildings a ‘facelift’? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Shuhana Shamsuddin, founder & first President of the Malaysian Urban Design Association (PEREKABANDAR), which is a registered NGO championing good urban design practices, with aspirations to reclaim the character of Malaysian cities.
