Future Melaka - A missed opportunity to make a world-class new city

Construction and transport projects in Malacca, and thoughts on what should have been done to make a better new city development.

This month’s Future Asia city is Melaka in Malaysia. I didn’t think there would be much to post here as I associate Melaka with the UNESCO World Heritage old town.

It turns out there is a lot happening outside of the protected historic area, though at this point in the great pandemic its hard to tell what is still going ahead.
