The government seeks to design a decent and good quality city for the community

by providing spaces and facilities through the concept of beautification.

Beautification is done in order to improve the quality of people's lives and improve

the image of the city. However, it often leaves stigma due to considered being too

concerned with aesthetic pleasure and seems ‘rash’ that the design is irrelevant with

the needs of its people. This thesis will discuss urban design products that focus on

the concept of beautification, both 'failed' and 'successful' ones in creating urban

spaces that are suitable for the community.
