There are several studies shown that Shah Alam is among the city that released carbon the most due to car dependent. There are some good initiatives from the Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam by linking some connectivity of cycling and pedestrian lane but there are still a lot that need to be taken into consideration to encourage people use the facilities. The other one was the development of Light Rail Transit (LRT3) that can connect city centre to the other site context. When this development if fully completed, a lot more of people will come and the future is in risk if there are nothing improvement been made to control the carbon emission or even reduce it.
