Mid Valley City is a large mixed development in the Lembah Pantai ward in southwestern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The development consists of The Gardens shopping mall, Mid Valley Megamall and three hotels, namely the Cititel Mid Valley, The Boulevard Hotel Kuala Lumpur and the Gardens Hotels and Residences.
Background
When it was planned in the late 1980s, it was initially named Bandar Syed Putra, named after Jalan Syed Putra FT 2 that runs through the southern flank of the development. The site that was selected for the development was formerly occupied by an abattoir.
Accessibility
It is accessible by both road and rail transport.
Public transportation

Rail transport is provided directly by KTM Komuter via KB1 Mid Valley Komuter station on the Template:KLRT line. The KTM station connects directly with the eastern entrance of Mid Valley Megamall.
Mid Valley is also indirectly served by the Template:KLRT line and Template:KLRT line via KJ17 KD1 Abdullah Hukum LRT/Komuter station. Pedestrian access is possible via a walk from the Robinsons store in The Gardens mall, first via a bridge across the Klang River, then through the adjacent KL Eco City development project. A pedestrian bridge from The Gardens mall to Abdullah Hukum station is however being constructed, and is scheduled to open to public around February or March 2019.
