I am pleased to present to you this Planning Malaysia Journal Volume 15 Issue 3 for your reading pleasure. Since our migration to online version of the Journal, we have successfullyelevated the Journal to higher level. The Journal readership has increased, reaching wider and international audience. The Journal is also gaining recognition from local and foreign scholars. Article submissions have increased three-fold and this year alone we are publishing 5 issues of the Journal, which is unprecedented. This issue also reflects the wider acceptance of the Journal. It includes articles not only from local scholars, but also from foreign scholars. We hoped that the inclusion of articles from foreign scholars would benefits local readers with knowledge of cases and experiences related to urban planning from other countries as well.I would like to thank the Journal Editorial Board and Secretariat for their untiring efforts in the publication of the Journal and also in successfully uplifting the Journal to higher level.Thank you.
