Executive Summary
Gerbang Nusajaya is aspired to be the city of both business and economic engines of Iskandar Puteri, and serves as a gateway to Iskandar Malaysia. Located at the southernmost of Johor before Singapore, it is not only serving as a gateway to Iskandar Puteri but also to Malaysia. and boasted to be highly liveable development, walkability and ease of people mobility which is an integral part of the development, with emphasis on long-term sustainability. The purpose of this Gerbang Nusajaya’s Urban Design Guidelines is to establish a comprehensive and implementable vision for Gerbang Nusajaya, Johor and to develop developments that fulfil to sustainable township criteria are appropriate to the context. This proposal is aimed to bring Gerbang Nusajaya to be a vibrant urban centre for Johor where it emphasize and planned to become a walkable city and transit served community. The design guidelines focus on the design of the streets, open space fabric and buildings to promote compact, sustainable and transit accessible development. A variety of open spaces ranging from neighbourhood and local parks to small urban spaces are all connected with pedestrian and bicycle network that will disperse the residents to the entire Gerbang Nusajaya and the smaller areas within neighbourhoods. The buildings shape a well-knit urban fabric of streets and open spaces that create an enjoyable pedestrian environment. As a development that is designed to be human centred, it is important that the planned design accommodates the needs of human in term of accessibility, distance and promotes social inclusion, sustainable living and healthy lifestyle to its resident. Series of pockets park, stops, benches and kiosk are created along the route as a node to encourage the residents to use pedestrian networks to reach their home or for recreational purpose. Located in a major transit hub at the southern peninsular, this development will foresee huge influx of peoples into its area and becomes a main distributing point before the head out to the surrounding neighbourhood and the rest of Johor. Therefore, this design proposal will also look into tourism and its important to the development and promote it throughout the development. Other than walkable city, this proposal also designed to be sustainable and low carbon city. This is to ensure that the design that implemented today will not burden the community and ecology in future. To ensure the sustainable design are attained in future, the inclusion of many trees especially rare forest and fruit trees species, will help to reduce the carbon dioxide content, soaked more surface water before it produce floods and become great habitats for wide range of fauna. Other than filter by the trees, the surface water will also be harvested via rain water harvesting design to hold more water before it enters drain or river. All surface run off will also be filtered and treated before it enter the stream system to remove all the pollutants agent and debris which would threatened the health of the river system. In this design proposal, the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is implemented throughout the design to ensure the safety of the resident especially when expecting huge influx of peoples into the neighbourhood area. In general, this proposal is desired to ensure that this city – a gateway of possibilities, a desirable township that inspired and meet the diverse needs of the community and ecosystem

Preliminaries and the Urban Context
About the project We were assigned to do a landscape master plan for Gerbang Nusajaya including all the 4 precincts in context by setting up a thorough Urban Design Guidelines comprising the elements present within the built environment that promotes sustainability, resilience and most importantly, beneficial for the society. We hold on to the concept of putting people first.
1.1 Introduction key plan Gerbang Nusajaya is the western gateway to Iskandar Malaysia reflecting a world class urban resort, residential and commercial component within the booming district of Mukim Pulai, Johor. A township that is envisioned as an integrated community, it establishes a basis for sustainable resort living environment with vibrant commercial districts enveloped in security, and establishes a benchmark for future developments within the region. Located within Malaysia’s prominent development site, Gerbang Nusajaya is centred on an economic development zone that is Iskandar Malaysia. Strengthen by government support, it provides the necessary elements in developing a dynamic city.
location plan
purpose of 1.2 The Urban Design Guideline The Urban Design Guidelines for Gerbang Nusajaya assist in creating spaces within the township that are:
accessible, safe, diverse and provide choices. enjoyable, engaging and comfortable. conducive to people being more physically active. equality + inclusive = accommodating all

Design 1.3 Principles
What makes a
“GREAT” place?
10 MINUTE TRAVELLING PROXIMITY
Travel
Green Infrastructure
Air Quality
Encouraging walking and cycling for short journeys and as a key part fo multimode trips
Enable limitless accessibility to parks, green spaces and wider paths for everyone.
More people walking and cycling will help reduce air pollution. If it’s not far, leave the car!
Path Networks
Walking & Cycling for Health
Built Environment
Integrate landscaping that promotes walkability that correlate with the urban fabric where everything is within a walking proximity.
Designing a city to be walkable, safe, attractive and sustainable.
Everyone, everywhere!
Provide good quality, maintained multi-use path networks in and around communities
Walking and cycling — its free, fun, healthy and for everyday journey.
Local Economies Workplace Promote walking as an integral part of the working
Supporting economic activities, including tourism, through improved walking opportunities.
Public Transportation
Quality of Life
Park
Walkability
Connectivity
Journey from one place to another, walking and cycling have a legible connectivity with transportation nodes.
Connectivity In achieving the intended vision of Gerbang Nusajaya, the masterplan is laid out that focuses on each precinct where everything is interconnected and integrated with one another in a closed loop that incorporates along side with public transportation enabling people to travel without having to go out on mobile. The break-free main route wide bicycles lane that run through out the development shall well be supported by series of parks, commercials, resident and transportation hub. This encourages public to walk, cycle and even use elective mobility to move from one point to another in a garden walk setting that promotes the township as a safe and walkable city. This would promote low carbon city concept where everyone has a role to contribute to green and healthy planet. From this main route, it is further distributed into series of walk path and cycle lane that connect to a smaller precinct in the development. In this development the main bicycle route is designed in line with the concept of people-oriented township where the main intention is to connect the public within a vast range of distance facilities.
... Walkability To ensure a walkable city is achieved so that the public fully utilises it, the design a comfortable width between pedestrian and cyclist must be ample to prevent conflict in traffic. Providing less obstructive views like thick planting or structure that may pose a threat in terms of the users safety. A series of shaded trees is proven to be a great cooling agent for the city which alongside provide ample shade for the users. To ensure users experience the whole set of Gerbang Nusajaya, activities are supported with kiosks that sells food and drinks. A walkable city has to integrate pedestrian with proper street furnitures like shelter so that pedestrians could rest from one intervals during hot weathered days. Not forgetting the eyes on the street concept practiced by Jane Jacobs, the landscape design applies crime prevention through environmental design where obstruction of views designs that blocks the pedestrians eyes is avoided and streets are equipped with CCTV’s and proper security. Above all, the usage of the bicycle route would increase the volume of users on street where the mission to promote healthy society through reducing carbon footprint will eventually succeed.
... Park To enliven the park with activities—the main bicycle route is designed to pass through the park, squares and residential area as this would bring the public from their comfort to go out and exercise. Open, continuous and wide footpath with fine grained pedestrian networks, it makes the public feel safe and encourage them go to the park. It must be well supported by facilities, play equipment's, accessible to all — universal and importantly in sight. The planting of trees need to be strategically planted to allow more sunlight to reach the floor and prevent soggy earth surfaces. Soggy and moist ground surface would become a potential breeding ground for mosquitos and unwanted insect which would pose a threat to the users and avoid people from coming to it. Planting in clumps would allow sunlight to penetrate to the ground, ease the daily maintenance and allow the grass and ground cover to grow healthy and lush.
1.4 Sustainability The term “sustainability� basically can be interpreted as design elements and activities that embraces activities that promotes wellness in health, these incorporate designs to include opportunities for people to exercise and be engaged with sporting activities throughout the site. Provide a healthy, balanced and conducive working environment
sustainability
Providing educational & interactive surroundings Sustainable principle :
+ Social sustainability
to reach an equilibrium between social, economic and the environment.
Working to support the local culture, identity, history of place, as well as the community of Gerbang Nusajaya, Johor.
+ Environmental sustainability Working to reduce energy use, optimise and integrate infrastructure and mobility systems, integrate sustainable design solutions and ensure optimal quality of life for the public.
Safe Cities Providing a safe and comfortable pedestrian walkway and cycling lane that promotes walkability and cycling wit a healthy balance and conducive working environment, calmness and interactive surroundings.
+ Economic sustainability Working to support a framework that allows place for highly flexible and adaptive to change over time as the city, place and community are ever changing.
Ecological A green linkage that proposes diverse plant matrix and incorporate it with he current site to create a rich biodiversity. Integrate a neighbourhood park with a connected water element to the reception park, open space and playground area. Preserving and promoting the richness of the forest ecosystem at Gerbang Nusajaya to respect it ecology and inhabitants. Practicing sustainable stormwater management practices to ensure less energy used and maintaining the quality of the water.
Low Carbon City Applying the green transportation, green building and green surface concept where low impact development designs are proposed to ensure a vision towards a low carbon city. Promoting planting designs both on land and vertically to ensure a better quality of life.
The design of crime prevention through environmental (C.P.T.E.D.) s based on ideas of Jane Jacobs (1993), Jacobs likes to observe the differences between the social environments in urban areas who are not far apart. Jacob found a secure environment based on land use mix, a setback of a building, a building and other factors relating to impact 24 hours of activity each day as the 'eyes on the street' (Timothy and Diane, 1994; Rob and Sutton, 1995).

Site Character & Issues junctions, roundabouts, road treatment
pathway, street furniture, nodes & utility.
The existing condition of the site shows lacks the sense of welcoming that shows the significant character of UEM. There is no distinctive features to provide as way finding for the users also any visual cues. At the current site, there is no road treatment like paving pattern, pavers or traffic calming methods. There is no road treatment like paving pattern, pavers or traffic calming methods. Complex route design leads user to walk on desired lane , feel inconvenient, and maybe long distance. The narrow pathway along the drainage with no cover possible walking difficulties, limited access especially to disabled user.
No proper pedestrian infrastructure and facilities on site especially along pedestrian-oriented areas. Street furniture provided does not integrate with the character of the site and exposed infrastructure and utilities act as an eye sore for the pedestrian as well as an obstruction of view for vehicular motorists.
Condition of the road on site has no conventional drainage to swale to divert surface runoff from the road.

Design 1.7 Concept + Inspiration The four precincts that comprise Gerbang Nusajaya are linked conceptually by the core theme of “GAPURA” which means gerbang.
“Gerbang” Derived from the Malay word that means gateway, entrance gate or entry point which symbolises the entry point for Iskandar Puteri and Malaysia. A synonym to “Gerbang” — “Gapura” bears the same defintion. From the word “Gerbang”, the overall development brand name is further divided into four smaller precinct that holds the similar concept with different themes that suits its context.
... Gerbang Nusajaya as the main gateway to Iskandar Puteri and Malaysia, it welcomes thousands of Malaysians, Singaporeans and any other people from other parts of the world into Malaysia. It is the first sight we see of our beloved homeland especially for them who have been far away from home travelling abroad. Gerbang Nusajaya is a triumph to be a city of possibilities — a place where its resident can immersed themselves with modern and well integrated traffic oriented developed (T.O.D.) city. Alongside promoting a heathy environment in a close-knit and self-committed community, living in harmony and in balance with nature.
...
“Gateway of possibilities”
The key concept is to ensure the residents of Gerbang Nusajaya have the limitless access to a healthy balanced and conducive living environment. The landscape design is universal that is inclusive and interactive for all. The relationship between residents and the natural environment is implemented through the adaptation with the natural ecosystems.

Interactive playground for kids to stimulate their mind and further invigorate their active play.
A playground that would stimulate kids imaginative play and encourages social interaction. Encouraging imagination and creative group play through the design, scale and proximity of forms. Unlike traditional playgrounds, this solution takes the innately collaborative nature of much children’s play – the context for the design – and applies those principles to the construction itself, so that the playground itself becomes collaborative.
The outdoor performance stage acts as a focal point within the landscape where it offers as a variety of safe and an attractive space that are well distributed and integrated with one another through out the park.
By creating an outdoor experience near to the water with the amphitheater beside it, it serves as a catalyst for the development while serving as a strong community focal point.
The path and elevated decks: On the ground level, following the cut-and-fill water filtration land form, a network of paths are built into the pondand-mound ring allowing users to have a walkthrough- forest experience. This is to allow people to have close contact with nature — both in the canopies and land.

WATER EDGE GENERAL GUIDELINES Retention pond not only serves an engineering purpose, it can also feature a recreational park with attractive landscaped water body, • any slope that are more than 1.2m height has to be secured To apply sustainable landscape design for less maintenance requirement such as - using durable materials for landscape structures. & double usage of footpath and maintenance path • To minimize conflict between cyclist and pedestrian by providing ample of walkway, • To remove hidden and negative corner so we can instill confidence and feeling safe to all park goes. • Benches at maximum 50m apart for elders • Provide Open public spaces for private gathering or function • Minimize negative spaces by reducing trees and shrubbery. • To preserve the natural ecosystem and protect wildlife. • To diversify planting and introducing wetland species to support the ecosystem. • To improve water quality of the pond naturally and in line with WQIA standards. • To assist engineers with stormwater management in accordance with MSMA 2 standards while adding aesthetic value. • Creating recreational spaces and activities to promote healthy lifestyle • Providing suitable recreational facilities, where applicable – eg. play sports and equipment, playground, sports field, par course and outdoor gym, plaza and court, amphitheatre. • Creating attractions at potential areas (eg: Islands, Water Edge Attraction, Reclaimed Areas) • Aquatic plant for aesthetic purpose and natural filtration. • Where applicable, all barriers are made of soft barriers. • To secure slope more than 1.2m with hedges. • To provide enough walkway for cyclist and pedestrian. • To create safe space for users and avoid negative space. • Benches at maximum 50m apart for convenience of users. • To provide open public spaces for private gathering or function.
Water Edge WATER EDGE GENERAL GUIDELINES
Combination of aquatic plant and stones reduce unsightly view during low water volume /drought.
• any slope that are more than 1.2m height has to be secured using hedges or low fencing. • Where possible, all barriers are made of soft barriers. • all levels differences has to be accessible to all • Allow park user to engage with water body by allowing them to go as close as possible to water body • To provide landing / safety zone through our the pond to reduce potential danger to public. When there are greater level difference, a physical fence are required to deter public from entering the area. Safety measures especially where close contact with water (eg: gabion platform below water) • Creating recreational spaces and activities to promote healthy lifestyle • To secure slope more than 1.2m with hedges. • Pond edge treatment that allow user to engage with water body. • To provide landing / safety zone throughout pond to reduce hazard. When there is a greater level difference, a physical fence is required to deter public from entering the area.

Storm water management + Rain garden + Detention pol
Storm water management
GENERAL GUIDELINES Basic guidelines for stormwater management • Water • Rain garden A rain garden is a garden designed to collect run-off from impervious surfaces, such as roofs, walkways, and parking lots, allowing water to infiltrate the ground • Filter strip Filter strips utilise gently sloping areas and vegetation to infiltrate, reduce stormwater velocity and allow suspended solids to drop out of stormwater run-off. • Wetland Constructed wetlands are shallow, vegetated depressions with permanent standing water that offer a spectrum of ecosystem services to manage and treat stormwater. Constructed wetlands offer the many benefits of natural wetlands and marshes: they aid in peak flow reduction and provide conditions for sediment dropout. • Pond A wet pond is a constructed basin designed to retain a permanent pool of stormwater with limited biological treatment. Wet ponds aid in peak flow reduction and promote sedimentation. • Bioswale Vegetated swales, also known as bioswales, are gently sloped, planted channels for treating and conveying stormwater • Permeable surface Permeable (or pervious or porous) pavement allows water to flow vertically through hard, paved surfaces • Green roofs Green roofs reduce most effectively the volume of run-off and attenuate peak flows through processes of retention and evapotranspiration from short, mild storm events. • Ditches and stream A ditch is a narrow channel dug at the side of a road or field, to hold or convey water away. • Stromwater planter • Infiltration basin Infiltration basins are designed to store runoff on the surface and infiltrate it gradually into the ground. • Infiltration pit Usually located close to the downspout from the roof collecting stormwater in an underground storage space. The storage space is composed of large rocks, geocellular system or other material, that infiltrate storm water and allow detention • Detention pond basin Vegetated detention basins, sometimes referred to as dry ponds, are depressions designed to temporarily hold and pre-treat the first flush of storm water before regulating discharge to a receiving water body.
