This research is to explore the urban form and sustainability of a hot humid city of Kuala Lumpur. Research on urban form and sustainability especially in the context of hot humid tropical cities is still lacking. Measuring the sustainability of development for hot humid tropical cities is crucial to achieving it and is one of the most not being studied. Past research focused on theoretical general elements of sustainable urban form including density, size, configuration, detailed design and quality from macro to micro scale. The analysis focused on major strategies which shape current urban form and impact human activities is more important in identifying key urban form values to facilitate sustainability. Perception survey on residents and visitors of the city was carried out. Expert interviews were also conducted. The research found that the urban form or physical form for Kuala Lumpur is interdependently affected by the economic, social and physical development. Human activities in the city were influenced by physical urban form and vice versa.
