Bangi is a small town situated on the south of the district of Hulu Langat, in Selangor, Malaysia. It is roughly situated between the towns of Kajang (9 kilometres away) and Putrajaya (formerly Prang Besar) (also 9 kilometres away), and is linked to KTM Komuter commuter train services via the Bangi Komuter station. The town is surrounded by palm oil estates; a Malaysian Palm Oil Board/UKM research station is also based close to the town.
Bangi is not to be confused with Bandar Baru Bangi, a newer and larger township several kilometres north, similar to the town only by name and located closer to Kajang.
Bandar Baru Bangi (literally translated from Malay to English as New Bangi Town) is a township - recently crowned as "Knowledge City" - situated in the district of Hulu Langat, in Selangor, Malaysia, named after the small town of Bangi situated further south. It is located between Kajang and Putrajaya (formerly Prang Besar) and is about 25 km away from the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. The planning for Bandar Baru Bangi is based in Structure Plan, Local and Action Area Plan, Town Centre Urban Plan and the Town Park Plan prepared by international teams led by Peter Verity of PDRc Architects and Urbanists for the State Planning Department and PKNS.
Bandar Baru Bangi has education institutions, national institutions and agencies, corporate institutions, factories and industrial training centres. It also houses a five-star hotel, Hotel Equatorial with an 18-hole golf course.
