Analysis

The main concern of Damansara Uptown is the lack of car park bays. The area is too crowded and the car parks available are not sufficient to support crowds into the area. Even though Damansara Uptown is built with a multi-storey car park and has 3 open car park bays, these car park bays are normally full with season clients who are employees in the area. Due to this matter, most people double park and park their cars by the roadsides. MBPJ officers always make a round trip and issue summon to these illegal car parking. Damansara Uptown is dubbed as one of the best and most successful commercial centre in the Klang Valley. It is a good place to start a business to pull crowds and suitable for beauty and F&B businesses as well as showrooms and training centres. The area itself has a working population of 30,000 people.
