Damansara, Selangor

Damansara is a suburb in Petaling Jaya, a mukim in Petaling District, as well as an upcoming parliamentary constituency in Selangor, Malaysia. It is named after the Damansara River (Sungai Damansara) which flows nearby. It is one of the most densely populated areas in Malaysia. In the 2000 Census of Malaysia, it was the second-largest district subdivision in Malaysia, in terms of population, with 453,420 residents. [1]

The area defined as Damansara has changed over time. The mukim (commune/sub-district) of Damansara, being part of Klang before 1974, covered the state capital Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Bandar Sunway, Kelana Jaya, Kota Kemuning and parts of Putra Heights. It was named after the Damansara River which flows through the commune. The mukim of Damansara therefore roughly corresponds to the parliamentary constituencies of Shah Alam, Kelana Jaya and Kota Raja.

Today, the definition of Damansara has moved north, in the northern part of Petaling Jaya's municipal area, bordered by Kelana Jaya in the south, Kepong/Sungai Buloh in the north and Segambut in the east, covering the constituencies of PJ North, Kelana Jaya and Subang.
