Sunway City to adopt sustainable landscaping

PETALING JAYA: Sunway City Bhd (SunCity) will implement sustainable landscaping practices in its future property developments.

Managing director for property development Ngian Siew Siong said the company was “very serious” and committed to its corporate responsibility of promoting the concept of sustainable development.

“For this purpose, we are designing buildings that are not only visually pleasing but also economically viable by making sure that these buildings are environmentally sustainable and durable,” he said yesterday.

Ngian said this at the third SunCity’s Liveable City Series Seminar titled Sustainable Landscaping.

Ngian said sustainable landscaping meant the design of an attractive liveable environment was in balance with the local climate.

“A sustainable landscape should require very minimal resource inputs. There shouldn’t be too much use of fertilisers, pesticides or water.

“The keywords used in defining a sustainable landscape include functional, cost-effective, environment friendly, maintainable and of course visually pleasing,” he said.

He also reminded seminar participants that landscaping was not only about planting trees and flowers.

“Good landscape design begins with a proper understanding of the future use of the property.”

The proper design will be unique to a specific site and should be based on a careful review process.
