Urban land readjustment (ULR) is a land management approach that aims to achieve comprehensive and sustainable urban development by reorganising land ownership patterns, improving infrastructure, and enhancing public spaces. While ULR has been successfully implemented in various countries, its adoption and implementation have been unique challenges in Malaysia. Through semi-structured interviews among planners involved explicitly in land readjustment, this paper examines the challenges of implementing ULR in Malaysia from the planners’ perspectives. Data from the interviews were analysed using content analysis techniques. Findings from the analysis revealed that the key challenges of implementing land readjustment are the source of funds, public participation, and the absence of specific laws. By understanding these challenges, policymakers and urban planners can develop strategies to overcome barriers and effectively utilise ULR as a tool for sustainable urban development in Malaysia.
