6.0 FINAL OBSERVATIONS Despite all efforts in planning, design and local authorities' efforts to introduce the best effort to ensure the end product fall short of its intended result. This is mainly due to misconceived design, regulations, impositions, workmanships by contractors that are not well thought of by both architects, planners and engineers and proper long term maintenance. The goal should be more towards conducive living space, maintenance, cleanliness, good design, adequate amenities and convenience, and proper help to assist house ownerships. Owner responsibilities to ensure maintenance, cleanliness and considerations are also vital for making any affordable development successful. There are plenty of successful examples aimed the world that we can choose to follow to ensure the longevity of such development. There are also plenty of examples of many affordable housing schemes which turned out to be a breeding ground for slumps. Most importantly, keeping the affordability of such units is crucial and that household income that will rise over time as we moved beyond being just a developed nation. Despite efforts being made there will be instances that such developments can go terribly wrong and over time may have to be redeveloped. Building a livable township and cities at the international standard is a great opportunity for Greater Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. Building purely for affordable housings in cities and townships may not enough in the long terms, building future communities that will enhance the livability of its people is the way the city planner should pursue if Malaysia will be considered as one of the best places to live in and a place that will increase the quality of life for its population. Greater Kuala Lumpur or the Klang Valley is in a great position to build townships that can apply new ideas, technologies and sustainable living. Broad ideas including types of dwellings, mixed development and connectivity living to be thought through in great detail and provide the future communities a place to live, work, earn and play. The goal is to become one of the best places to live with an abundance of opportunities. Between now and 2020 one million more of affordable housing will be built throughout Malaysia. It will house approximately four million people The majority of these houses will be built in Greater Kuala Lumpur. We assumed 300,000 houses will be built in Greater Kuala Lumpur that will cater for 1,200,000 million people. 120 AFFORDABLE HOUSINGS IN GREATER KUALA LUMPUR (KLANG VALLEY) AND URBAN MALAYSIA : PLANNING, ISSUES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES

As shown, the population of Malaysia will rise between 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 people the most. If the estimation in its calculation is correct, it may only will add 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 people in the next 84 years. It will translate to an additional 2,500,000 to 5,000,000 (four people per house) whereby 30% will probably live in the Greater KL, or 750,000 to 1,500,000 additional houses. Out of this number, 600,000 will fall under M40 and B40. The question is, whether this number is correct which is based on several population growth models. Furthermore, the population growth is estimated to reach 40 million people by the year 2040. Pricing for M40 and B40 varies. The prices for M40 is between RM 350,000 to RM 450,000 or below RM 500,000 at today's prices. Challenges, observations and planning. Our planned assumption to tackle the perceived or the acute shortages of affordable housing in the future. The future here is calculated in five, eight, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years time and more years in the future. 121 AFFORDABLE HOUSINGS IN GREATER KUALA LUMPUR (KLANG VALLEY) AND URBAN MALAYSIA : PLANNING, ISSUES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES
