PUTRAJAYA, June 26 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today officiated the launch of the Kota Madani development project in Precinct 19, a major smart city initiative designed to be people-centric and environmentally sustainable.
The RM4 billion project will be developed by Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd through a public-private partnership under the build, lease, maintain and transfer model, without government funds at the initial stage.
Kota Madani will feature 10,000 high-density residential units capable of accommodating over 30,000 residents, along with vertical schools and various public amenities.
The development will integrate artificial intelligence, smart digital infrastructure, and green mobility systems.
Planned facilities include Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions, schools, health clinics, fire and police stations, a mosque, and financial institutions; all designed with local cultural elements to preserve architectural heritage.
The first phase of development is to begin in September, with a completion deadline at the end of 2027.
The project is part of the government’s commitment to realising the Malaysia Madani vision and CHASE (clean, healthy, advance, safe and sustainable) city goals.
Kota Madani is poised to be a pioneering model for future urban development in Malaysia and a benchmark for other areas.
