1.0 Introduction Medan Pasar Medan Pasar (Market Square) is located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It was known as the starting point of KL. When people talked about Kuala Lumpur, Medan Pasar used to be the first thing to come up to their mind. It was originally a residential area of Malays who inhabited the village along Gombak and Klang rivers. Then in the 1986, the development of Medan Square is bloomed as a trading center because of the tin mining industry. Before the pedestrianised of the street, it was a mini square which also acts as a street divider. It allows street vendor as wells as cars, services trucks, busses and motorcycles to congregate there. After the pedestrianisation of the square, it became a more inviting and accessible landmark with the existing clock tower. However, due to the lack of planning of the site, it is now a community hub for mostly the foreigners, the migrant workers there and the locals rarely visit that space anymore. Currently there are a bunch of white collar locals who work at the bank offices there as it is still a financial district with a coexist of foreign money trading businesses.
