Pudu is a town located along Pudu Road in Kuala Lumpur. It is host to Kuala Lumpur’s oldest bus station called Pudu Sentral (also known as Puduraya) and the now demolished Pudu Prison. Amongst several of the internationally renowned landmarks in this area is Bukit Bintang, whilst a short distance away are Pavilion KL and KLCC.

Generally known to be a constantly congested area, Pudu is also host to several upmarket residential areas such as the Swiss Garden Residences, Taragon Puteri Bintang and Casa Residency.

Due to its strategic location, the residential areas within Pudu are rather highly priced. However, one of its value factors is that public transportations are always within a short walk away.

Although the traffic conditions were reportedly eased once the Bandar Tasik Selatan Integrated Transport Terminal was opened in 2011, traffic congestions are still constantly occurring during peak hours.

With the endless construction going on within the city centre incidents are unavoidable, with the worst occurrence happening in the year 2014 when an underground tunnel which was under construction collapsed twice on the same day at the intersection between Jalan Pudu and Jalan Hang Tuah.

Formerly built on a Chinese burial ground, the Pudu Prison has since been demolished and it has been reported that the development is being dubbed as Bukit Bintang City Centre.
