Abstract
Port city development analyzes the spatial interaction of a port and its surrounding urban areas. This paper analyzes such relationship in Pasir Gudang Port, Johor, Malaysia and its impacts on quality of life. Comparative and descriptive analyses are used as the research methods. Expansions of built up areas from the port have encroached into the urban areas while continuing urban growth has affected the efficiency of port operations especially land transportation. Conflicts that arise are due to unsystematic and disjointed planning of port development and surrounding urban areas. It negatively affected the quality of life of residents.
