Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral) or Sentral Kuala Lumpur is a transit-oriented development that houses the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Opened on 16 April 2001, KL Sentral replaced the old Kuala Lumpur railway station as the city's main intercity railway station. KL Sentral is the largest railway station in Malaysia. [1]

Transit-oriented development an urban development that maximizes the amount of residential, business, and leisure space within walking distance of public transport

In urban planning, a transit-oriented development (TOD) is a type of urban development that maximizes the amount of residential, business and leisure space within walking distance of public transport. In doing so, TOD aims to increase public transport ridership by reducing the use of private cars and by promoting sustainable urban growth.

Kuala Lumpur Capital of Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, officially the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur or commonly known as KL, is the national capital and largest city in Malaysia. As the global city of Malaysia, it covers an area of 243 km2 (94 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 1.73 million as of 2016. Greater Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Klang Valley, is an urban agglomeration of 7.25 million people as of 2017. It is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in Southeast Asia, in both population and economic development.

Malaysia Federal constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia

Malaysia is a country in Southeast Asia. The federal constitutional monarchy consists of 13 states and three federal territories, separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. Peninsular Malaysia shares a land and maritime border with Thailand and maritime borders with Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia. East Malaysia shares land and maritime borders with Brunei and Indonesia and a maritime border with the Philippines and Vietnam. Kuala Lumpur is the national capital and largest city while Putrajaya is the seat of federal government. With a population of over 30 million, Malaysia is the world's 44th most populous country. The southernmost point of continental Eurasia, Tanjung Piai, is in Malaysia. In the tropics, Malaysia is one of 17 megadiverse countries, with large numbers of endemic species.

Contents

KL Sentral is designed as an intermodal transport hub. All of Kuala Lumpur's passenger rail lines except the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines serve KL Sentral, while many intercity trains serving Peninsular Malaysia start there. All the railway components of the scheme have been completed, and Nu Sentral shopping mall is located here. It was also designed to be a new business and financial hub for Kuala Lumpur.

Ampang and Sri Petaling lines railway line

The LRT Ampang Line and the LRT Sri Petaling Line are light rapid transit lines in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The combined network comprises 45.1 kilometres of track with 36 stations, and is the first to use the standard gauge track and semi-automated trains in Klang Valley.

Peninsular Malaysia mainland, western portion of the nation-state of Malaysia in South East Asia

Peninsular Malaysia, also known as Malaya or West Malaysia, is the part of Malaysia which lies on the Malay Peninsula and surrounding islands. Its area is 132,265 square kilometres (51,068 sq mi), which is nearly 40% of the total area of the country - or slightly bigger than England and South Korea. It shares a land border with Thailand in the north. To the south is the island of Singapore.

Overview

KL Sentral refers to the entire 290,000 square metres of development built on the former Keretapi Tanah Melayu marshalling yard in Brickfields. The development includes the transport hub, hotels, office towers, condominiums and shopping malls and was expected to be completed in 2015. [2]

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Malaysian rail operator

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM) or Malayan Railways Limited is the main rail operator in Peninsular Malaysia. The railway system dates back to the British colonial era, when it was first built to transport tin. Previously known as the Federated Malay States Railways (FMSR) and the Malayan Railway Administration (MRA), Keretapi Tanah Melayu acquired its current name in 1962. The organisation was corporatised in 1992, but remains wholly owned by the Malaysian government.

Brickfields Place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Brickfields is a neighbourhood located on the western flank central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is known as Kuala Lumpur's Little India due to the high percentage of Indian residents and businesses. Brickfields been ranked third in Airbnb's list of top trending destinations.

KL Sentral has been divided into 14 land parcels, each representing a different function. Some of these lots have been fully constructed and are already in use, while others are either in the process of being built, or are still awaiting development, according to the phased programme.

KL Sentral is being developed by a consortium made up of Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB), Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) and Pembinaan Redzai Sdn Bhd.

MRCB

Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad is a construction and property development company based in Kuala Lumpur. It is the master developer of the Kuala Lumpur Sentral transport hub and business district.

History

In 1994, with the objective to enhance Kuala Lumpur city’s public transportation, the Government of Malaysia awarded a contract to a consortium to transform 72 acres (290,000 m2) at Kuala Lumpur’s old railway marshalling yard into a modern transit hub within a self-contained urban development.

Government of Malaysia federal government of Malaysia

Government of Malaysia officially the Federal Government of Malaysia based in the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and the federal executive based in Putrajaya. Malaysia is a federation of 13 states operating within a constitutional monarchy under the Westminster parliamentary system and is categorised as a representative democracy. The federal government of Malaysia adheres to and is created by the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, the supreme law of the land.

The consortium, led by Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) appointed architect Kisho Kurokawa and Associates, who also designed the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), to design the master plan for the entire development.

Kisho Kurokawa Japanese architect (1934-2007)

Kisho Kurokawa was a leading Japanese architect and one of the founders of the Metabolist Movement.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport international airport in Selangor, Malaysia

KL Sentral monorail station

The KL Sentral monorail station stands on Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Brickfields, behind the Nu Sentral shopping mall. The station acts as a terminating stop for the KL Monorail line. It is directly connected to Nu Sentral which allows for uninterrupted walking between Stesen Sentral and the monorail station.

The monorail station is also equipped with new ticket vending machines, ticketing gates as well as a new Customer Service Office. Tactile paving for the visually impaired is also provided beginning from Nu Sentral. The completion of the overhead bridge now enables customers to travel between KL Sentral and the monorail station safely and conveniently. [9] [10] [11] The station uses the Spanish solution, having one rail line with a platform on each side, for passengers embarking and disembarking the train separately.

Before Nu Sentral was built, passengers who wanted to move from the monorail station to Stesen Sentral vice versa, they had to walk through the busy Jalan Tun Sambanthan road.

These connecting stations between KL Monorail and Kelana Jaya Line are not the interchange station or out of station interchange station. Commuter will be charged 2 single way journey fare instead of integrated fare whenever using these connecting stations.

Due to space constraints, an MRT station cannot be built in the Stesen Sentral area, therefore an MRT station had to be built in front of the nearby National Museum to allow connections to Stesen Sentral. The Muzium Negara MRT station opened on 17 July 2017, along with the footbridge that connects the MRT station to the main KL Sentral building.

KL Sentral as a bus hub

KL Sentral has also been made a city bus hub by RapidKL as part of its bus network revamp. It is the bus hub for city shuttle and trunk bus routes.[ citation needed ]
