| Abstract | This study is to determine and measure the effectiveness of the urban design elements at Bayan Baru Township, Penang through mental mapping. The study is conducted based on observation and interview. Mental mapping is used to identify the urban design elements, and information from the interview is used to understand the place making by the local residents. The findings show that the township is mainly gridded with paths as the main urban element based on Colonial divide and rule concept. In contrast, the idea of 'Garden City' is expressed through the organisation of buildings with nodes and landmarks on mostly every districts. Study shows that the five urban design elements has been integrated successfully in the planning of the township. Path is the most dominant urban element in gridding the districts, while nodes and landmarks complement each other well in the planning. Edges do not play an important role as it is mainly identified as transportation edges expressed by paths. Nevertheless, the combination of urban design elements are considered successful in highlighting the image of Bayan Baru township in Penang. |
