The Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) (Malay: Pusat Transformasi Bandar) is a public amenities centre located at some state capitals and urban areas in Malaysia. The rural counterpart of UTC is Rural Transformation Center(RTC). UTC can be found in the tallest building by state in Malaysia, such as City Plaza Tower in Kedah, KOMTAR Tower in Penang.
Overview
UTC is one of the efforts and initiatives of the Malaysian government to provide urban communities a centralised location for core government agencies, public amenities and services of private sectors. It is part of the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) which was introduced to improve the quality of services through strategic partnerships between government agencies and the private sector.
National Strategy Unit (NSU) under Ministry of Finance Malaysia (MOF) is tasked to establish and monitor all the UTCs in Malaysia.
UTC comprises ten clusters of facilities and services, namely: common governmental services; health services; security services; education, training and employment services; financial services; business and entrepreneurial development services; utility services; youth development services; welfare and community development services; and non-governmental organization (NGO) services.

Mini UTC
Although the Government's initial objective was to establish a UTC in all state capital and also Mini-UTC in densely populated areas like Sentul and Keramat in Kuala Lumpur, the exploding demand for UTC including that of Mini-UTCs made the Government to upgrade Mini-UTCs to be named as a UTC by itself. All the UTCs established in state capital will be known by the state's name, e.g.: UTC Kedah in Alor Setar, while UTC established in city's will be known by the city/town name, e.g.: UTC Sungai Petani.
This is inline with Government's aspiration to bring the services closer to people. By having UTC it is a recognition for the city/town as an urban area.
