Development

UDA develops and reappropriates urban structures as it sees fit. Although this is mainly confined to redeveloping "dilapidated buildings", UDA is also responsible for conservation of historic urban buildings. Several new towns have been developed by UDA, including the Taman Tun Dr Ismail suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn in Selangor, and Bandar Baru UDA in Johor Bahru.
