Les programmes de plantation en Malaisie ont progressé tel que planifié. Néanmoins, la gestion subséquente des arbres de rues, particulièrement à l’hôtel de ville de Kuala Lumpur, n’est pas bien prise en main en raison d’une information inadéquate à propos des objectifs de gestion et d’entretien. Il n’y a jamais eu d’inventaire systématique des arbres de rues mené à Kula Lumpur. Face à cela, un inventaire a été fait pour recueillir des informations détaillées sur la structure des arbres, la composition en espèces, ainsi que les défauts et les désordres chez les arbres. Un total de 2191 arbres de rues ont été inventoriés. Zusammenfassung. Die Baumpflanzprogramme in Malaysia sind wie geplant vorangeschritten. Dennoch sind die subsequenten Verwal- tungsarbeiten der Strassenbäume, besonders bei der Stadthalle in Kuala Lumpur wegen der inadäquaten Information über Management und Er- haltungsmassnahmen nicht so gut vorbereitet. Es hat in Kuala Lumpur noch nie ein systematisches Baumkataster der Strassenbäume gegeben. Mit diesem wurde eine Bauminventur durchgeführt, um umfassende Daten zur Baumstruktur, Artenzusammensetzung, Artenvielfalt, Baum- schäden und Defekte zu sammeln. Insgesamt wurden 2.191 Bäume un- tersucht. Resumen. Los programas de plantaciòn en Malasya han progresado en la planeaciòn. Sin embargo, el manejo subsecuente de àrboles urba- nos, particularmente en Kuala Lumpur City Hall, no es bien entendido debido a la informaciòn inadecuada para propòsitos de manejo y manten- imiento. No ha habido una medición sistemática de los árboles en Kuala Lumpur. Con esto, se llevò a cabo una encuesta para colectar informaciòn de la estructura del àrbol, composiciòn de especies, diversidad, defectos y desòrdenes de los àrboles. Se evaluaron un total de 2,191 àrboles.
