Petaling Jaya, Commercial metropolis in Selangor, Malaysia
Petaling Jaya extends across 97 square kilometers of urban landscape with residential neighborhoods, business districts, educational institutions, and commercial centers connected through modern infrastructure.
The transformation from rubber plantations to urban settlement began in 1952 when authorities constructed 800 houses in the current Old Town area to address Kuala Lumpur overcrowding.
Educational institutions shape the knowledge landscape with more than 25 colleges and universities, including the International Islamic University Malaysia and MARA University of Technology.
The transportation network integrates PUTRA-LRT rail services, MRT lines, and multiple bus routes that connect different sections of the city to neighboring Kuala Lumpur.
The numerical street naming system originated with Jalan 1 and Jalan 2, which later changed to Jalan Templer and Jalan Othman, establishing a pattern for city road designations.
