With the advent of economic growth, the urban landscape of Malaysia has become predominated by concrete high-rise structures and a place of congestion, both from traffic and commercial activities. As a result, the balance of nature has been disrupted and most of the vegetation has been destroyed to make way for the so-called "urban development". Urgent efforts have been made to rehabilitate the urban environment by planting hardy, quick-growing trees of both exotic and indigenous origins. This paper recommends various tree species, some of them new, for urban and roadside planting. It is suggested that while planting with common species should continue, other suggested new species should also be tried. Parallel research should also be carried out both by the implementers and foresters so that a wider usage of local species can be explored for landscaping purposes.
