The city nowadays becomes the home of high concentration of carbon emissions. Hence, the development of underground space can lead to the integration of transportation in urban agglomeration, specifically in mountain cities. However, underground space can be layout as the structure of "Flake-node network" in the core area ,or the structure of "gathering point" in the periphery consequential area .The planning of underground space coordinate the ground city‘s structure of" Multi-center and team-style", and should develop by axis with track.

During the United Nations Climate Conference (COP15) in 2009, Malaysia pledged to reduce the country's carbon emissions by up to 40% by 2020 compared to 2005. Meanwhile, in the Paris Agreement in 2015, the pledge was renewed to reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 45% in 2030. Thus, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (MEGTW) has launched a low carbon cities framework known as the ‘Low Carbon Cities Framework and Assessment System’ (LCCF) to realize the pledge. Following the launch, the Selangor State Government has determined that the LCCF be adopted in urban planning policies in all Selangor local authorities in order to contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions intensity. Bandar Baru Bangi is a city under the administration of the local authority of Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) which implements the LCCF project to achieve a carbon reduction target of 45%, subsequently emerging as a low carbon city that is sustainable and comfortable to live in by 2035. This article discusses the implementation experience of the LCCF project in the city as well as the achievement of carbon reduction as a result of its implementation.
