The Putra Lake Village Masterplan proposal brings forward the idea of inclusivity which prioritises the health and well-being of aging communities through the design of a socially sustainable urban framework which is able to cater for each stage of life within the same development. In achieving this vision, the concept of a self-sustaining urban “village” is implemented to bring back the values of early communal living which is common place in the Malaysian kampung while drawing on the agricultural background of UPM. Hence, the residential district is developed based on the idea of co living with connections to the specially designed urban farming planes. Furthermore, the design is not only able to cater to aging in place through typical design features for the elderly, but instead the development will also feature an integrated medical center within the commercial block, as well as assisted living facilities. The residential and commercial districts as well as main local buildings -such as mosque, primary schools, open sport spaces and senior activity center- will be arranged around a main central public space, united by the smaller surrounding healing spots and gardens through implementation of engaging green belt linkages throughout the entire master plan.
