KUALA Lumpur has achieved notable recognition in global rankings, with Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming announcing the city’s position at 65th in the global smart city index.
He highlighted KL’s strong international appeal, ranking among the top 10 most visited cities worldwide according to Mastercard.
“Among thousands, we are ranked number 65. And I’m fully confident under Hannah Yeoh and Datuk Fadlun’s leadership, KL is going to be in the top 50 soon,” Nga said.
He added that KL is also ranked number four globally for a city with the most skyscrapers.
Speaking at the launch of the KL Architecture Festival’s Tropical Fruit Pavilion at Titiwangsa Lake Garden, Nga emphasised that under the leadership of Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan and KL Mayor Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud, KL is poised to break into the top 50 smart cities.
To my surprise as well, KL is ranked number four in the world for a city with the most high-rise skyscrapers. We currently have 494 buildings that are actually qualified as skyscrapers,” Nga added. — Focus Malaysia
