Are the neighborhood commercial areas of Iskandar Malaysia centrally located for low carbon travel?

Recent developments in Malaysia show that the amount of CO2 increases every year which is mainly contributed by transportation sectors (World Bank, 2008). The amount of travel-induced carbon emission can be reduced by minimizing unnecessary extra travel coverage that can result from inefficient loca...
