Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
SDG 11 Indicator
11.4 – Sustainable practices
11.4.9 – Building on brownfield sites
UKM prioritizes the redevelopment of brownfield sites, ensuring that existing land is utilized efficiently rather than expanding into greenfield areas. One notable project is the Laman Ilmu, located at the old site of wooden houses in front of the UKM campus. This redevelopment transformed an underutilized area into a vibrant academic and communal space, demonstrating UKM’s commitment to sustainably revitalizing brownfield areas. By focusing on urban regeneration, the Laman Ilmu project reflects UKM’s dedication to minimizing environmental impact while promoting educational and social activities.
