Kuala Lumpur, like many Southeast Asian cities, has changed very
significantly in the last two or three decades - expanding its
size, and 'modernising' and 'globalising' its built environment.
For many people these changes represent 'progress' and
'development'. This book, however, focuses on the more marginalised
residents of Kuala Lumpur. Among others, it considers street
hawkers and vendors, refugees, the urban poor, religious minorities
and a sexuality rights group, and explores how their everyday lives
have been adversely affected by these recent changes. The book
shows how urban renewal, the law and ethno-religious nationalism
can work against these groups in wanting to live and work in the
capital city of Malaysia.
