Chinatowns are heritage spaces that are historically and geographically specific, situated at strategic downtown locations. Since the inception of the Kuala Lumpur Creative & Cultural District (KLCCD) Strategic Master Plan in 2019, Downtown Kuala Lumpur has been implementing culture-based urban regeneration. Within the local creative and cultural ecosystem, one key strategy was to increase the population through investments in liveability, repurposing unused office spaces, encouraging shophouse activation, attracting new residents, and preserving traditional communities. Such a strategy has reshaped the built environment, particularly the streetscape. While there has been an increase in locals and visitors to Chinatown, the streetscape has transformed over recent years, resulting in the homogenisation of place identity. This chapter examines the spatial identities that have emerged from the contemporary revitalisation of Chinatown KL into a creative and cultural district. It adopts architectural drawing as a form of critical visual practice for knowledge production, as interpreting urban identity phenomena requires a documentation method beyond text descriptions. Combined with observation, visual methods inform understanding of a place’s character and transformation. The chapter argues that an alternative phenomenon of negotiated identities emerged through the tapestry of layers between the old fabric and the new layer of rejuvenation. It reinforces the need to understand the negotiation between the old and the new within the streetscapes to achieve the aspirations and vision of becoming a creative city. The study recommends placing Kuala Lumpur Chinatown in a glocal context to frame its negotiated identities.
