Sustainable residential low density urban development: integrating sustainable consciousness with commercial viability

This paper will discuss the present integration of sustainable features in a self-contained residential development in the growing urban density in Malaysia - consisting of 36 units semi-detached and 4 units terrace houses – within the constraints of commercial viability of such a project. The pro...
