    • Rapid growth of Malayan towns caused typical challenges.
    • Lack of Proper Arterial Road System: Insufficient road infrastructure was a major concern.
    • Waste in Residential Areas: Improper management of waste led to issues in residential neighborhoods.
    • Overbuilding: Uncontrolled construction led to crowded areas.
    • Intermixture of Factories and Commercial Premises: A mix of industrial and commercial activities impacted residential areas.

    Need for Systematic Planning

    • Colonial development led to urban deterioration.
    • To prevent this, town planning was essential in urban areas.
    • Planning was seen as crucial to avoid the problems of industrialization in England.
    • Legislation was needed to define and plan town development, including areas designated for shops and houses.
