PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today launched the Kota Madani development project in Precinct 19, a mega initiative conceptualised as a smart city that is both people-friendly and environmentally conscious.
The RM4 billion project will be developed by Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd (PjH) through a public-private partnership model based on the build, lease, maintain and transfer (BLMT) concept, without involving any government allocation in the initial phase.
Kota Madani will feature 10,000 high-density residential quarters capable of housing more than 30,000 residents, vertical schools, and a variety of public amenities.
The development is planned with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, smart digital infrastructure, and green mobility systems.
Other planned facilities include institutions for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), schools, health clinics, fire and police stations, a mosque, financial institutions, and culturally inspired designs to preserve architectural heritage.
The first phase of development is expected to begin this September and be completed by the end of 2027.
The project forms part of the government's efforts to realise the Malaysia Madani vision and the CHASE city concept – clean, healthy, advanced, safe and sustainable.
Kota Madani is expected to become a pioneering model for future urban development in Malaysia and serve as an example for other regions.
