Sungai Petani is known as an industrial town due to its economic activity. This research method involves observation and data collection.. The study finds that Bandar Sungai Petani has a masterplan with gridiron design, which is systematically arranged although irregularly. The gridiron concept forms primary road networks and linkages with vehicular paths, making the place well connected and having good circulation in the area. The study also shows that the urbanization of Bandar Sungai Petani has been impacted a lot by the trading activity from the early colonial era. Based on research, during the first years, Kuala Muda was once the administrative centre and later moved to Bandar Sungai Petani that was identified as a colonial trading area and has grown into governmental administrative and commercial sectors. |
