Ipoh, a city renowned for its natural beauty and cultural heritage, is undergoing a significant transformation through the Ipoh Bandar Ekonomi Donat 2027 initiative.
This effort is part of the Perak Sejahtera 2030vision, which aims to create a balance between economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
What is the Doughnut Economy?
The concept of the doughnut economy was introduced by economist Kate Raworth. It emphasizes balancing human basic needs with environmental limits. This model envisions a world where economic development occurs without compromising the environment.
In the context of Ipoh, the doughnut economy focuses on:
- Green Development: Protecting natural resources like forests and rivers while supporting modern infrastructure development.
- Community Economy: Promoting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as the backbone of the local economy.
