AT THE HEART of Penang’s transformation as a thriving socio-economic and developmental hub lies the Penang Development Corporation (PDC), which holds the pivotal role of shaping the state’s property landscape and transforming its infrastructure. As an urban planning government agency, PDC has provided liveable housing schemes for locals from different income groups and pioneered the establishment of industrial zones and public recreational spaces, all of which include high-quality features geared towards accessibility and sustainability.
