DESCRIPTION
Award‐winning green designers Pomeroy Studio unveiled plans for an innovative park and skygarden orientated eco‐township, located in the 100‐year old former colonial town of Kluang, Johor, Malaysia. Close to the most important Expressway in West Malaysia (the North‐South Expressway), ‘Newpark’, will be the largest masterplanned commercial project in Kluang and seeks to balance 21st century trade and education with green living. It will host a diverse mix of uses that will mark the town’s evolution from a palm oil production centre to a pre‐eminent vocational education and trade leader. Centred in the middle of Johor state, Kluang is set to capitalize on trade and expositions through Newpark’s state of the art infrastructure. Its enviable position near the celebrated natural landmark of the Gunang Lambak hills allows the masterplan to draw its green inspiration in order to establish a new chapter in Kluang’s history.
