| Summary: | In order to achieve high quality urban landscapes it is essential to engage
an appropriate management system. Such a system needs to be flexible
enough to allow consideration of both urban change and the changing
needs and demands of landscape users. Based on an investigation of the
literature, this paper makes the case for the development of an effective
management system and concludes that changes in urban landscape
management have not kept up with urban expansion. Moreover as the
trend in the objectives for urban development in Malaysia and around the
world is towards achieving more sustainable development, the paper
highlights the importance of establishing more appropriate landscape
management systems as fundamental to the achievement of sustainability
