In the course of our master planning work for new communities, many times we might have tried to come up with new ideas forgetting how invaluable our current urban form which has evolved through the times. Places we are familiar with, our "Jalan Besar", "Jalan Bandar", our "Padang", "Bulatan ", "Pesiaran ", "Medan Pasar ", etc. which offers priceless lessons which can be applied to our new environments.
Perhaps we are trying to stamp our personal identity into the new places which is within our sphere of influence, as planners, to create, especially with modem technology, we can create something out of nothing. For example, cutting an expressway is by blasting through a steep terrain. Of course, not all is bad, some good things can come out of new technology, converting ex-mining land into resorts that appeal and are used by many.
