Creating vibrant public spaces is how to plan and design the city to be more livable, more spirit in order to enhance better living and quality of life for those people who come, live, work, and play in the city (Miri City Council, 2007). Good design of vibrant city will facilitate movement and access with multiple modes, provide the setting for architecture, create dynamic social spaces, and contribute to the sense of center: a place where social, commercial, and institutional interaction is more dense and livable. (Ned Crankshaw, 2009). Key points of design guideline of vibrant spaces covers the quality, style, and arrangement of pedestrian paths, parking, lighting , trees, streetscape, street furniture, squares, plazas, public art/graphic/signage, landmark, edge, closure, node, utility lines, and all interstitial spaces between them all. (Paumier, Cy., 2004). Strategic Development is a general framework for action: a way to determine priorities, make wise choices and allocate scarce resources (e.g. time, money, skills) to achieve agreed-upon objectives (OECD, 2002).

Nuremberg, Germany. Vibrant medieval town

Vibrant night in Toronto, Canada.

Vision : “Creating the vibrant public spaces in Nusajaya”

“5 Development Strategies” 1. To develop ‘modes of transport connecting each development projects to City Center to be more comfortable, friendly environment and highly accessible with low cost innovation, i.e; ULTra System 2. To create regular events by involving all stakeholders, such as: night market, cultural events, exhibitions, live music, Malaysian performance, etc. 3. To allocate informal sector in several formal spot varies by managing semi formalized to attract people to come there, i.e. Kopitiam in Singapore. 4. To integrate with Kampung Selatan as eco-tourism (native fisherman who owns the fish farm and seafood restaurant). 5. To create more livable streetscape, through placement of shading place, trees, more softscape, street furniture, lighting, signature, transit stops, and other intentional public spaces.


Strategy 1. To develop ‘modes of transport’ to connect each development projects to City Center to be more comfortable, friendly environment and highly accessible with low cost innovation, i.e; ULTra System

Ultra System in Cardiff

• Terminal in City Center Station Proposed Ultra System- along the main roads

ULTra which is developed since 1995, is an innovative and novel way, exciting, cheap, a high level of service, futuristic and fun to the user, not polluted, and quicker than by bus. The aims are to create internal connection more comfortable, safety, accessible, distinct and friendly environment. The system will integrate each developments with the city center. City center is planned to be walk able.


Strategy 2. To create regular events by involving all stakeholders, such as: night market, cultural events, exhibitions, live music, Malaysian performance, etc. One of the key important to make the city livable is by ensuring the urban environment feels human and generates a subtle sense of usable public space.

Proposed Regular Events in Nusajaya development


Strategy 3. To allocate informal sector in several formal spot by managing semi formalized to attract people to come in, i.e. Kopitiam in Singapore

Informal sector in several formal spot

Formal areas will be not livable as the arrangement of the space so static. By mix some proper informal activities will attract people to come there frequently as a meeting space.


Strategy 4. To integrate with Kampung Selatan as eco-tourism (native fisherman who owns the fish farm and seafood restaurant) – need strong regulation promote Kampung selatan without loss the culture.
