This document summarizes several sustainability indicators for a developing city, including population growth due to affordable housing, worsening air quality from increased traffic, and decreasing biodiversity as palm oil plantations make way for development. Waste continues to be landfilled and the city's ecological footprint is increased by housing, transportation, and consumption habits. Transportation is dominated by private vehicles, leading to traffic congestion during peak hours. Schools and hospitals provide education and healthcare, while some green spaces like parks offer recreation. Climate change impacts like traffic congestion are unavoidable and food sourcing could be more local. The local economic base includes technology, manufacturing and industry, providing employment.

Population growth more people lives here due to the rapid development and house price is still affordable.
Air quality traf鍖c continues to increase, and busy junctions, narrow city streets, and heavy bus and lorry traf鍖c can all create zones with poor air quality. Biodiversity ecological services provided by natural and diverse habitats help regulate temperature, absorb pollution, control pests and maintain soil fertility. They also play a key role in limiting the causes of climate change and helping cities cope with its impacts by absorbing carbon, providing natural defences against 鍖oods and droughts, maintaining water quality, and reducing the heat island effect. The palm oil plantation in this area is decreasing due to the rapid development.
Waste and recycling still goes into land鍖ll, requiring long-term management and creating greenhouse gases such as methane. Eco footprint (Impact of the development, services, housing, transport and consumable on the environment) A citys ecological footprint measures the environmental impact of its populations lifestyle, consumption habits and energy use. Housing and food and drink consumption have the biggest in鍖uence, but transport, pets and consumer items such as clothing are also important.no improvements in the energy ef鍖ciency of housing and transport. Transport This indicator captures how long it takes to access key services without using a car. Not many people chooses cycling or walking as their main transportation. People chooses to drive around the town and during peak hour, there will be traffic congestion.
Education Successful cities need a well-skilled population to support their economy and tackle the big challenges of sustainable development. Elementary school and high school are available . Even the international private college available such as the Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
Health and healthcare steady increase in average life expectancy at birth, government hospitals and private clinics available nearby
Green space Access to high quality open space in a city is vital for peoples physical and mental wellbeing. Green spaces also play a key role in adaptation to climate change: they can help cool the environment during heat waves, reduce 鍖ood risk by storing and soaking away excess water, and provide habitats for wildlife. There are a few places such as Sungai Congkak and Bukit Broga for the city citizens to chill.
Climate change Cities that take a long-term view and plan to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts will be more ef鍖cient and resilient. These plans also have the potential to address social and economic problems, such as fuel poverty and traf鍖c congestion, and so deliver a better quality of life for residents. The traffic congestion is unavoidable especially during peak hour.
Food-locally produced food should be a key element. This reduces the amount of food transported over long distances. It also offers a solution to the phenomenon of food deserts,neighbourhoods without a supermarket or mainstream grocer, where the only local choice is more expensive convenience shopping and residents often end up with poorer diets. Economic base- in technology, manufacturing and design will increase their economic activity. Industrial area available and more immigrants working in this industry. Employment-new supermarket and more shops open offers more employment.
