INTRODUCTION
In general, town could be defined as city or places with fully development, and
country could be defined as rural area of the certain places while planning could be
defined as a universal human activity that requires basic surviving skills involving the

consideration of the outcomes before choosing the ways or alternatives. For town
and country planning, it is a process of making decision on the usage or
development of the land. It is also act as a tool for guiding the development and at
the same time preserves the best features of the environment.
There are two types of town planning which is the old school and modern turn.
In old school terms, the town planning is the art and science of using the land and
placement of the buildings and the infrastructures on the land so that it could
contribute convenience to the maximum level of economy. In modern turn terms,
town planning should not be defined as a subject or a design but as a process or
methodology.
Specifically to our case study at U Residence, Tronoh, this assignment
requires an in-depth discussion of the given topic. The discussion must cover the
history of the chosen case study. Besides that, we need to know the types of the
planning concept, the objectives of the planning and also other parties that involved
in the development of the area. We also require discussing about impact of the
planning concept either to the community, the state and the government.
In order to make this report more successful, we will clarify thoroughly about
the development of our case study. We are allowed by the Site Engineer, Pn Siti
Aisyah to take their development as our case study. She also gives a lot of useful
information about the respective site. From the interview session, she exposed us
about the development made by the developer, ESTEEM PYRAMID SDN BHD. We
gained new experience from this task as we have to travel to different places to
collect all the information. All those information enable us to conclude the
assignment and submit it on the respective date assigned by our lecturer.

HISTORY OF THE AREA

Tronoh or also known as Teronoh and Ternoh is a minor mining town in the
Kinta District, Perak. The tin mining industry in Tronoh happened during the early 20 th
century. Tronoh was originated a small village that turns into a major town when they
first found tins in that area. The first mining industry was held by the Tronoh South

linking the town and Ipoh but as soon as the Japanese conquer Tanah Malaya during
the World War II, they dismantled the line and were never rebuilt again. Right after
the war ended, the mining industry at the area stops but the town remains standing

purchase. After the transaction complete, the Esteem Pyramid Sdn Bhd becomes the
exclusive owner of the land by signing the tender from the Town Planner assigned by
the government and by the end of 2012, they started their development by building a
few shop lots fronting the main road. When the development is complete, it will have
more than 55 shops with a hotel built with it and also approximately 600 units of
houses. The development also provides more than 5 acres of land for green area
and sports and recreational activites.
