2.2.3) Future Land Use Demands The latest versions of the state and city plans have been reviewed to identify their data, land use policies and development proposals. The recommendations of the LPTMP are developed to allow consistency and integration of the LPTMP with the development aspirations of the land use plans. The land use plans seek to accommodate future population and employment growth to maintain the economic status of the region. The differences between the base year and future land use maps are shown below and indicate areas of significant intensification. The characteristics of the land use changes shows: Plans show some urban expansion eastwards and northwards. Greater intensification in key centres such as KL city centre. Major redevelopment sites identified in discussion with DBKL and UPEN. There are a number of major commercial developments within the land use plans which need to be integrated into the LPT Master Plan (such as Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD) and Matrade). The growth in these locations will intensify the need for high capacity public transport for their own success and to maintain the economic status of the region. In particular, enhanced rail systems need to provide access to the centre of Kuala Lumpur. The population forecasts assume a capacity of 10 million people in the region with the largest growth forecast in Klang, Sepang and Putrajaya. This is a 59% increase in population compared to 2010. The draft DBKL City Plan forecasts the growth in jobs from 729,000 in 2005 to 1.2 million in 2010 and 1.4 million in 2020. The City Plan shows greater intensification particularly in the city centre. The growth in population and employment will maintain the pressure on the transport networks with increased demand for movement across the region. There is a need to provide better LPT services to serve key future developments identified by the local authorities. Generating the intensity of demand within these gaps to justify rail investment would be greatly helped through TODs. These developments will provide a greater incentive for public transport use by their co-location to transit nodes. Page 13
2.2.4) Future Travel Demands The modelling tools have been used to develop forecasts for a number of future years. The forecast morning peak hour travel demands by all modes (private and public transport) in the region show large radial movements towards the Central area of Kuala Lumpur. Demand for all modes crossing the MMR1 as forecast for 2030 shows strong flows in all the corridors with the highest demands being from the Petaling Jaya/ Shah Alam/ Klang corridor. Within the region there are also strong orbital demands in the suburban areas, particularly to areas such as Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam. The largest flows are in the Petaling Jaya area along corridors such as the North-South Expressway and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) corridor. In addition to these flows between centres, there is a wide diversity of local movements within the suburban areas such as local movements within Shah Alam or Klang. Although lower than the radial demands into the centre of Kuala Lumpur, these demands require high quality PT access. Without improved LPT and a mode shift to LPT, the net result of the growth in travel demands arising from the land use changes will be further increased car usage. This will lead to longer travel times with a further significant rise in congestion for private vehicles, as well as buses leading to unreliable journeys. This will affect the commercial performance of the region and hinder economic growth. As a result of the LRT extensions and MRT1 accessibility will be improved following these lines through areas such as Damansara, Cheras and Kajang. However significant gaps will remain such as Mont Kiara and along the Klang Valley and that the committed schemes alone do not provide high quality LPT services to all parts of the region. Page 14
