The complex has been created not just for events but for daily use from all over the world , including the global architecture and design firm Populous .
Populous , responsible for some of the largest sport complexes in the world including the Yankee Stadium and the London Olympic Stadium , played a crucial consultancy role in MRCB ’ s delivery of KL Sports City . “ Populous brought with them incredible experience from all over the world and that really helped us in terms of remaining within budget and avoiding pitfalls that could lead to long delays ,” says Chhina .
“ With this project we had hundreds of people working at once , consultants and contractors all under one umbrella and so our experience in working to this scale proved key , particularly in planning .” Fast forward 15 months and in late August 2017 , the 30th annual Southeast Asian Games drew to a close at the newly redeveloped Bukit Jalil Stadium . Over the course of 11 days , KL Sports City saw thousands of attendees and performers pass through the whole complex , the success of the project highlighted for the world to see .
