This award was made possible by our clients, partners, and members for their trust and collaboration. As our global firm celebrates 60 years of operating in Malaysia this year, we look forward to finding new ways to shape a more resilient future for generations.”
In Malaysia, Arup has worked with multiple clients to deliver projects that enhance city liveability and climate resilience, and promote sustainable socio-economic growth. This work includes the Clean Growth Handbook Malaysia, Think City Green Connector Network Study, Retrofit of Gurney Ascott Hotel, Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) Transport Facilities Action Plan, and Bau and Serian masterplans.
“Beyond projects, we actively advocate for climate action through conferences, media, and strategic partnerships to positively influence industry and the public in creating change for a sustainable future. We look beyond our carbon footprint and pay close attention to the impact we can bring through our carbon handprint,” Murali Ram, Arup’s Malaysia Cities & Advisory Leader said.
