    Abstract

    This study investigates and identifies five main urban design elements in Pudu of Jalan Loke Yew and an observation on the architecture planning style of which the urban planning of the area falls into based on a Malaysian context. The research conducted by visiting the site, observations, and open-ended interviews to understand the area. Targeted interviewees are observers who frequently use this area. The research findings show that this area has been developed to include all the five main urban design elements, according to Lynch (1960). Several landmarks within this area are also identified. Issues touched on in this paper discuss the lack of free pedestrian movement, diversity in land use and people, no clear demarcation of all educational and religious districts and landmarks and nodes as wayfinding cues. The study concludes that Loke Yew- Pudu has proper urban planning based on the presence of these dominant elements and in the context of Malaysia. It is observed that planning in this area falls into the 1950s-1970s periods.
