摘要：This study is about the role implemented by the Town Planning Department on socio-economic development and development in the Kinta Valley district. The Kinta valley area is a rapidly developing area with socio-economic activities of agriculture and tin mining. The Lembah Kinta district town planning department is directly involved in the development plan of Ipoh town and the small towns in the Kinta Valley district because the town and small towns are the catalyst for the development and socio-economic activities of the community. Having been founded in 1921, the British colonial administration created a new organization with the existence of the involvement of British officials and the local community in management and administration. This study was conducted using a qualitative method that is to analyze documents and manuscripts on documents obtained from the National Archives of Malaysia and public university libraries in Malaysia. The results show that various development plans and implementations have been carried out by the Town Planning Department in the Kinta Valley district. Aspects implemented are the construction of settlements, infrastructure facilities such as communication networks and also the construction of new buildings. In fact, the Town Planning Enactment was also introduced to overcome the problem of ownership of homes and business premises in the cities around the Kinta Valley. In conclusion, this study proves that the Town Planning Department had a tremendous contribution to the socio-economic development and urban development in the Kinta Valley district in the British colonial era.
