COLORFUL BACKLANE

@ JALAN THAMBIPILLAY

URBAN EXPLORING • JAN 2021 • BRICKFIELDS, KUALA LUMPUR

Brickfields may be just a stone's throw away from KL Sentral, but the city's major transporation hub's modern touches have long eluded this stepchild of urban redevelopment. Thus, this unexpectedly clean, organised and colorful backlane along Jalan Thambipillay seems worlds away from its former filthy, rodent-infested self. Kudos to DBKL for a year's worth of negotation and coordination with the locals for this wonderful transformation.
