Abstract
This graduation thesis is focused on rapid urban growth faced by the town of Taman Melawati, Malaysia. The result of which is leading to the phenomena of fragmentation negatively impacting the urban environment such as congestion, sprawl, functional and demographic segregation. Through a design intervention, this thesis aims to propose a retrofitting of the existing urban structure to create a better connection for the existing residents and to reintegrate the structure of the town to become more cohesive.
