The Kenyalang Smart City project is a multi-faceted development plan that includes residential, commercial, and recreational facilities. Its design aims to create a self-sustaining urban environment that meets the needs of its residents while minimising its ecological footprint. The inclusion of educational institutions like a branch of Fudan University and a convention centre further enhances the city’s appeal, providing opportunities for learning, research, and international collaboration.

The project’s focus on renewable energy and sustainable practices aligns with global environmental goals and positions Sarawak as a leader in green urban development. The KSC initiative also includes plans for advanced transportation systems, smart infrastructure, and digital connectivity, ensuring that the city remains at the forefront of technological advancements.

Sarawak’s Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts, Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, emphasised KSC’s potential impact on tourism. Miri, already home to UNESCO World Heritage sites like Mulu National Park, stands to benefit from enhanced connectivity and political stability, attracting both tourists and investors. The Kenyalang Smart City will not only transform the city’s landscape but also its tourism potential, offering a new and exciting destination for visitors from around the world.

“Kenyalang Smart City will have a very big impact on tourism as Miri is ideally situated,” he noted.

Miri’s evolution from a small fishing village to a cosmopolitan city with rich cultural diversity and tourist attractions makes it an ideal location for such a transformative project. The city’s history of resilience and growth, highlighted by its oil discovery in 1910 and elevation to city status in 2005, sets a strong foundation for the KSC initiative. Miri’s unique character, shaped by its 34 ethnic groups living harmoniously together, adds a cultural richness that will be enhanced by the new developments.

Since then, Miri has been selected as the pioneer city for the Smart City Initiatives by the state government, embarking on the second phase of these initiatives. This includes the Miri City Command Centre, expansion of Safe Park and Safe City Initiatives, and further digitisation of Miri City Council processes.

Mayor Adam Yii highlighted the city’s vision, stating, “Miri City is now embarking on the second phase of the Smart City Initiatives. Our goal is to develop Miri into a ‘Green, Smart, and the most Liveable International Resort City’.”
