Kuala Lumpur is a diverse city representing many different
religions and nationalities. Recent government policy has actively
promoted unity and cohesion throughout the city; and the country of
Malaysia, with the implementation of a programme called 1Malaysia.
In this book, the authors investigate the aims of this
programme-predominantly to unify the Malaysian society-and how
these objectives resonate in the daily spatial practices of the
city's residents. This book argues that elements of urban
infrastructure could work as an essential mediator 'beyond
community', allowing inclusive social structures to be built,
despite cultural and religious tensions existing within the city.
It builds on the premise of an empirical study which explores the
ways in which different communities use the same spaces, supported
through the implementation of a theoretical framework which looks
at both Western and Islamic conceptualisations of the notion of
community. Through the analysis of Kuala Lumpur, this book
contributes towards the creation of more inclusive places in
multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious communities across
the world.
