Rancangan Struktur Putrajaya 2050 (RSP50)
Putrajaya's statutory long-range spatial planning blueprint — projecting population growth from 125,200 (2025) to 305,000 by 2050 across 20 precincts. In 2025, 72,879 residents (58.21%) live in high-density precincts (IND-61), with Presint 11 (25,262), Presint 9 (21,879), and Presint 17 (14,182) as the primary residential hubs of Putrajaya's planned urban fabric.
Overview
The Rancangan Struktur Putrajaya 2050 (RSP50) — also referred to as the Rancangan Pemajuan Putrajaya 2050 — is Perbadanan Putrajaya’s statutory long-range spatial planning document, prepared by the Jabatan Perancangan Bandar (BPMP) Perbadanan Putrajaya under Section 8(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172), read together with the Federal Territory Orders (Amendment of Town and Country Planning Act 172) 2010.
2025 Performance — IND-61: City Population by Density
K4 (Indicator 61): Bilangan Penduduk yang Tinggal di Kawasan Kepadatan Penduduk Sederhana Hingga Tinggi
MS ISO 37122:2019 — Indicator 61 Formula:
[\text{IND-61} = \frac{A}{B} \times 100 = \frac{72{,}879}{125{,}200} \times 100 = \mathbf{58.21\%}]
Where:
- A = Residents in medium-to-high density precincts (>10,000 population), 2025: 72,879
- B = Total PBT population, 2025: 125,200

Population Profile — Putrajaya 2025
Demography Summary
| Indicator | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Total Population (2025) | 125,200 | DOSM 2025 |
| Male | 62,100 (49.6%) | DOSM 2025 |
| Female | 63,100 (50.4%) | DOSM 2025 |
| Growth Rate (KPPT 2010–2025) | 4.12% p.a. | DOSM / RSP50 |
| Population 2010 | 68,361 | DOSM |
| Average Household Size | 3.5 persons | RSP50 |
| Migration Rate | 59 per 1,000 population | RSP50 |
| Crude Death Rate | 1.8 per 1,000 | RSP50 |
Age Structure (2025)
| Age Group | Population | % | Change vs 2010 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–14 (Youth) | 41,500 | 33.17% | +20,501 |
| 15–64 (Working Age) | 81,300 | 64.99% | +34,561 |
| 65+ (Senior) | 2,300 | 1.84% | +1,777 |
| Total | 125,200 | 100% | +56,839 |
A youthful population with a working-age majority (64.98%) and low dependency ratio — reflecting Putrajaya’s role as an active federal administrative centre attracting young civil servants and their families.
Urban Density Comparison
Putrajaya’s low population density (25 persons/hectare) reflects its design as a garden city — with generous green open spaces, wide boulevards, and a low-rise residential fabric across most precincts.
| City | Population | Area | Density |
|---|---|---|---|
| Putrajaya | 125,200 | 4,931 ha | 25 persons/ha |
| Kuala Lumpur | 1,982,100 | 24,289 ha | 82 persons/ha |
| Johor Bahru | 647,202 | 43,154 ha | 15 persons/ha |
| Pulau Pinang | 1,645,700 | 104,868 ha | 17 persons/ha |
At 25 persons/hectare, Putrajaya achieves compact-yet-liveable density — lower than Kuala Lumpur but with planned intensification along RSP50’s development corridors to sustainably reach 305,000 population by 2050.
Population Projection — RSP50 2025–2050
The RSP50 projects Putrajaya’s population through 2050 using three growth factors:
| Factor | Value |
|---|---|
| TFR (Total Fertility Rate, women aged 15–49) | ~2.0 |
| Crude Death Rate | 1.8 per 1,000 |
| Net Migration Rate | +59 per 1,000 population |
| Planned Housing Supply | 83,438 units |
| Average Household Size | 3.5 persons |
| Year | Projected Population |
|---|---|
| 2025 (Baseline) | 125,200 |
| 2030 | ~145,400 |
| 2035 | ~175,900 |
| 2040 | ~213,700 |
| 2045 | ~257,800 |
| 2048 | ~290,200 |
| 2050 (Target) | 305,000 |
Planning Rationale — Presint Density Zones
Putrajaya’s low-density precincts (Presint 2, 4, 13, 20) are intentionally unpopulated — governed by specific land-use designations:
| Zone | Presincts | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Government Institutional | Presint 2, 4, 13 | Housing federal government offices, ministries, and ceremonial functions |
| Natural Reserve / Conservation | Presint 20 | Taman Wetland — ecological preservation and biodiversity corridor |
This spatial segregation ensures that Putrajaya’s administrative core is protected from residential encroachment, while residential density is concentrated in the eastern and southern presincts (P5, P8, P9, P11, P15–P18) where community facilities, commercial zones, and PPK branches are co-located.
RSP50 — Public Consultation (IND-34 Linkage)
The RSP50 review triggered formal public consultation in 2025 — directly contributing to IND-34 (Citizen Engaged in Planning Process):
| Session | Date | Participants |
|---|---|---|
| Program Publisiti dan Penyertaan Awam RSP50 | 17 Nov – 16 Dec 2025 | 35 |
| Taklimat RSP50 bersama MPPWP | 3 Dec 2025 | 121 |
| Total RSP50 Engagement | 156 |

Civil Servant Profile (Penjawat Awam)
As Malaysia’s federal administrative capital, Putrajaya’s workforce is dominated by the civil service:
| Category | Bilangan | % |
|---|---|---|
| Jumlah Penjawat Awam Bekerja di Putrajaya | 81,110 | 100% |

This high commuter-to-resident ratio (56.4%) underscores the need for RSP50’s Teras 3 (Mobiliti) policies to improve public transport connectivity and TOD development — particularly the planned MRT P7, LRT, and HSR links through Putrajaya Sentral (ERL P7).
