This article provides a review of the indicators for safe urban tourism after evaluates the urban tourism concept which related to the tourism industry and the implementation of the safe city model towards the Malaysia urban area. This research uses the basic idea of a safe city model for proposing a conceptual framework in safe urban tourism. Content analysis is used to identify the principles indicators of safe urban tourism from the established literature, relevant reports and works. A theoretical framework of indicators for safe urban tourism was then formulated to be the main outcome of the study. The framework consists of a list of three groups (3) indicators of safe urban tourism which is (i) safe city factors, (ii) safe urban tourism factors and (iii) crime prevention strategies and step to be considered throughout the safe urban tourism development process. Given that research in safe urban tourism is still at its infancy and largely absent in the Malaysian context, this study aims to fill that research gap and contributes towards an existing scholarship. The theoretical framework is very useful to provide an essential guide to the stakeholders (Ministry of Tourism (MoT), Town and Country Planning Department and Kuala Lumpur City Hall) and researchers for formulating a clear guide of sustainability principles to be integrated into the development of future safe urban tourism in Malaysia.

Urban waterfront redevelopments are often about image-making for economic and political gain. This article analyses three major recent waterfront projects within the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area: Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the River of Life, and Lake Putrajaya. All have been important in projecting an image of a modern, developed, postcolonial Malaysia. The article examines these waterfront landscapes in relation to three key themes: their contribution to the overall city image, to economic development, and to ecological performance. The article draws upon policy documents, project plans, interviews with local policymakers, designers and academics, field observation of the current physical development, land use and social use of the three waterfront precincts, and a mental mapping survey of users' cognitive images of how these precincts fit within the overall city image. Analysis shows that the appearance, use and development process of these three waterfront projects draw heavily on international models. The article suggests several waterfront sites and uses within the three projects that indicate a more authentic local paradigm for urban waterfront development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to model the property development process from an actor–network theory perspective. The model aims to address the relationship between structure and agency to combine the social and the economic aspects of the property development process. Design/methodology/approach An inductive methodology was appropriate for this study. Consequently, 12 semi-structured interviews have been carried out with professionals involved in the property development process in central London. Findings Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that throughout the development process a developer creates a core actor–network and enrols those required for production. Economic, cultural, legal and political structures influence actions throughout the development process and therefore have the ability to cause disruption. As a result, sub-networks are created to overcome challenges throughout the development process, such as obtaining planning consent. This allows the interests of actors to be aligned or re-aligned so that solutions can be punctualised into the core actor–network. Additionally, structures are affected by actions throughout the property development process. Practical implications It is recommended that developers measure the extent to which the interests of actors are successfully aligned and re-aligned throughout a developments life cycle, in addition to a developments financial success. The findings are paramount for policymakers and regulators, as it allows them to understand the intricate workings of the development process and so when they regulate or develop policy, they will understand how it will reverberate through the process and recalibrate it, thereby limiting unforeseen consequences. Originality/value This research has proven valuable given it advances the property development process literature by examining the property development process from an actor–network theory perspective and provides areas for further study.
