Cover Story: Property and infrastructure developments to elevate Bangi

Bangi is very much characterised by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), which was established in the 1970s. The university is usually the first thing most people think of at the mention of Bangi.

Located in the district of Ulu Langat, Bangi is a rather quiet area compared with the nearby Kajang and Semenyih. Its border is rather difficult to determine, as the property consultants whom City & Country spoke to tend to differ in opinion, giving varying borders and sizes.

According to the Kajang Municipal Council Local Plan 2020, Bangi is part of the 9,298ha Blok Perancangan Kajang (BP Kajang), which is divided into 29 Blok Perancangan Kecil (BPK).

In total, there are 11 BPKs that bear the name or address of “Bangi”. It is surrounded by Kajang in the north, Semenyih in the east, Nilai in the south and Putrajaya in the west.

The BPKs include BPK 1.15 (Seksyen 10 Bandar Baru Bangi), BPK 1.16 (Pusat Bandar Bandar Baru Bangi), BPK 1.24 (Bangi Golf Resort), BPK 1.27 (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) and BPK 1.28 (Pekan Bangi) (see map).
