Planning & Master Planning

Project Description

The masterplan incorporates modern urban planning principles by embracing the concepts of eco-city, smart city, safe city, future city, and resilient city. This approach ensures that NusaCinta is built not only to provide comfort but also to withstand challenges related to climate change, population growth, and technological advancements. The integration of green and blue spaces, recreational facilities, and sustainable water management practices makes it a development that focuses on both environmental responsibility and community well-being.

Nusacinta and the larger Setia Fontaines masterplan is inspired by the Malay archipelago. This unique geographical feature has been replicated through a collection of man- made water bodies and canals, creating aqua-centric and organic landforms that is suited to the tropical climate. The surrounding aquatic buffer not only provide a serene environment but offers a natural barrier from surrounding noise, traffic, & trespass. The 9 themed water fountains complements the major aquatic body, ensuring all parcels are within reach to some form of water feature. The 489 units are broken into 4 asymmetrical quadrants that create smaller neighborhoods, reducing the sprawl and promoting better community building The clubhouse is located at the centre of the masterplan, becoming a point of encounter for the entire neighborhood Each quadrant is given pockets of green and pedestrian space to facilitate outdoor activity and neighbor interaction
