Analysis of Flood Mitigation Infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Flooding in Malaysia, especially Kuala Lumpur (KL), has intensified due to rapid urbanization and climate change. Despite major investments in flood mitigation, including the SMART tunnel and green infrastructure, KL still faces recurring surface run-off and flooding. Using remote sensing, Google Earth Pro, and scholarly resources, this study evaluates the effectiveness of these infrastructures. Findings suggest both systems have strong potential to reduce flooding, but challenges such as clogged drainage hinder their performance. This analysis could act as a reference to KL future development in flood mitigation infrastructure by highlighting potential areas of improvement.
