Integrated land use assessment (ILA) for planning and monitoring urban development

The dynamic nature of planning and monitoring of development in Klang Valley region requires for a „tool‟ for continuous evaluation and analysis of the current environment as well as the capacity for future development. As such, Integrated Land use Assessment (ILA) is introduced as a new concept wit...
