High Rise Condos Don't Cause Traffic. Here's What Does

Every time a new high-rise condo is announced, the same complaint appears: "KL is already so jammed. Why do they keep building more condos?" It seems like common sense that putting thousands of people into one building would make traffic worse. But what if the opposite is true? In this video, we explore why high-density housing is often blamed for congestion, and why the real cause of Klang Valley's traffic may actually be decades of low-density suburban sprawl. We examine how urban density affects public transport, walkability, commuting patterns, and car dependency, and why well-planned, transit-oriented development can help create a more connected, less car-dependent city. The problem isn't that we're building too densely. It's that we've spent decades building too far apart.
