Abstract
This series of study attempts to give proper position to "New Village" plan and development, which was planned by British Colonial Government for suppression of communist revolt after World War II in the history of Town Planning in Malaysia. "New Village" was considered as something like detention camps, miserable isolation and surveillance of Chinese squatters. However, referring to the contemporary governmental documents, it is clarified that there was a strong intension to build the new settled area of the country and form a revolutionary step forward in rural housing. This paper argues the intensions by the British, Chinese and Malay officers to this scheme, the process of emerging and taking shapes of visions of "New Village" and its present situation.
