The masterplan was conceived as a process of de-aggregation of 200.000 housing units, grouped by “villages”, which are then organised in eight residential clusters. Each “village” has a centre including public services and activities, the mosque and a public park surrounded by the residential parcels. source: http://www.ajc.com.my/pdf/ajc_projects.pdf
