Abstract
Butterworth is rapidly becoming an important urban centre
in Peninsular Malaysia. The rapid industrialization taking place within
and just outside the city limits, the opening of its military airport to civilian traffic, and the extension of its harbour facilities for ocean going vessels have all served to encourage further urban development. The considerably increased frequency of the car ferry service to Penang island (since 1975) is further evidence of the growing
economic importance of the region and has led to a certain suburbanization of Butterworth in relation to Georgetown, where possibilities of areal extension are limited by lack of space on the mountainous island of
Penang.
