Putrajaya, commonly known as the Federal Administrative Centre of Malaysia, is a purpose-built city designed to showcase modern governance, smart urban planning, and architectural excellence. Developed using the concept of an intelligent city, Putrajaya is surrounded by beautifully landscaped lakes, parks, and environmentally friendly green spaces, making it one of Malaysia’s most visually striking and well-organised destinations.
The city highlights the finest elements of Malaysian architectural design and has become one of the country’s most attractive and well-planned places to visit.
A Planned City with Green and Accessible Spaces
On 1 February 2001, Putrajaya officially became Malaysia’s third Federal Territory. Covering a vast area of rolling hills and scenic landscapes, approximately 70% of the city is dedicated to green spaces, including parks, gardens, and waterfront areas. The environment is peaceful, spacious, and visually impressive.
Putrajaya is home to the Prime Minister’s Office as well as various government ministries and administrative buildings. In addition, the city includes residential neighbourhoods, commercial districts, hotels, and fully equipped convention and conference facilities.

Many public buildings, government complexes, mosques, parks, and lakeside walkways feature step-free access, wide pathways, ramps, elevators, and accessible restroom facilities.
The city’s wide roads, organised layout, and well-maintained pedestrian areas make it particularly suitable for visitors who prefer a relaxed pace of travel.
