Operationalisation of transit oriented development standards and requirements in Johor Bahru City Centre

Public transit systems are very crucial in mitigating the effects of climate change, especially in a country like Malaysia, where transportation is the second most emitting sector after industry. However, for these systems to reach their full capacity, there must be an integration between urban and...
