Putrajaya, Federal administrative center in central peninsular Malaysia.

Putrajaya is an administrative center in the central part of peninsular Malaysia, built around engineered lakes and planned green spaces. Government buildings spread across several districts connected by wide avenues and landscaped promenades.

The federal government moved its offices here in 1999 to ease congestion in the capital Kuala Lumpur. Rubber plantations once covered this land before giving way to the new administrative seat in the mid-1990s.

The city takes its name from a 15th-century Malay hero and blends modern government architecture with traditional Islamic motifs. Mosques, bridges and public squares display geometric patterns and domes that recall Persian and Moorish design.

Public transport links the center with the international airport and the capital through bus lines and express trains. Walking or cycling works well for exploring, as many paths run through shaded parks.

A system of engineered wetlands cleans water naturally while providing habitat for hundreds of bird species. These areas cover more than one tenth of the entire built zone and remain open to visitors.
