Smart planning: Glass panels are being widely used in the construction of the buildings to house Johor public agencies and departments in Kota Iskandar to allow natural light to stream in while reducing the usage of electricity in the buildings.
ISKANDAR Malaysia (IM) in Johor has been chosen as a Smart City Model for Malaysia and the world.
The selection took place during the first intersession meeting of the Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council (GSIAC) in July 2012, in San Jose, the US.
The GSIAC was formed by the Malaysian government and the New York Academy of Sciences in order to drive Malaysia’s effort to accelerate economic development through science, technology and innovation. It serves as an advisory panel to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and is composed of international experts drawn from industry, academic and the public sector.
Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) chief executive officer Datuk Ismail Ibrahim talked with The Star on the topics related to the Smart City project.
