| Abstract | This study discusses and identifies urban design elements at Taman Seri Juru, Simpang Ampat, Penang. This study is to comply with the five approaches which were proposed by Kevin A. Lynch, i.e. paths, nodes, edges, landmarks, and districts by using Mental mapping. The qualitative method was applied to collect the information and data from the book and online resources, site visits, simulation, and interviews to ensure that the data is accurate and valuable. The study's analysis shows that all the urban design elements are essential for shaping this township's image. In contrast, the 'Garden City' concept is expressed through the buildings' arrangement on almost every district with a path. The path is the essential urban element in gridding the districts, while edges and landmarks complement each other well in the planning. Nodes do not play an essential role as the plan of the site is lacking nodes. The urban design elements are organised with urban planning development in shaping the mental image of Taman Seri Juru, Simpang Ampat in Penang. |
