Agreed! Not just the PNM, but also the Istana Budaya and Balai Seni. This is a planning mistake of the past; separating districts into single-activities, in this case, cultural separated from commerce. https://twitter.com/afqzmbr/status/1320288944156602369">https://twitter.com/afqzmbr/s...

Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur remains lively because of the amount of daily nodes in the vicinity; tourists, walkable distance to offices, VERY walkable environment to Masjid Jamek. Plus the building isn& #39;t gated and is close to the street, unlike PNM

If the govt wants to increase usage of these 3 cultural buildings, imo they& #39;d need to figure out how to revitalise the district (in red), connect nearby nodes to it (teal), push to dismantle the highways (Jln Tun Razak, Semarak, Pahang), change land uses there.. complicated stuff

..and that& #39;s going to need an urban design firm to help with that. Either revitalise the district, or demolish the cultural buildngs to move them somewhere nearer (at the expense of their iconic looks and cost)

Another case study to how bad planning can be costly in the future.

@n_azreen If you& #39;re free, any thoughts on this since your office is near? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">
