怎樣的城市是我們想要透過文學而建立的？「文學之城」是一個以吉隆坡文學為基礎的文字與文化地圖繪製（mapping）計劃，特別聚焦在馬來西亞的1970年代到當代這段期間，它的訴求是「以文字打造城市」。然而這時，吉隆坡空間與文學地圖的繪製行動，卻與吉隆坡的「發展」理念所衍生的社會、政治和經濟的問題正面衝突。作為一個快速發展的城市，「文學之城」企圖解析非傳統的討論方法，藉以論證城市的發展理念，顯然總是忽略了形塑一個更加平等城市的、作為「人」的向度。此計劃所挑選的文本也包含了小說、短篇、戲劇和詩，藉由提訊人和自然作為都市發展的基礎理念，而間接地拆解了吉隆坡進步的邏輯結構。因此，透過文學之城，我們將不僅僅從時間與空間背景的因素，勾勒出吉隆坡的進展歷程，更將包含許多要以文字打造這座城市的「成熟」因素。

What kind of city are we going to build through literature? LiteraCity, with the phrase “to build the city with words” is a Kuala Lumpur literature based text and cultural mapping project focusing from the period of 1970 to contemporary times in Malaysia. How then, the act of mapping the space and literature of Kuala Lumpur confronting the question of social, politics and economic surrounding Kuala Lumpur’s ideas of “development”? As a rapidly developing city, LiteraCity try to dissect the unconventional discussions in order to argue the developmental ideas of the city, which seems to always neglect its human dimension in shaping a more egalitarian city. The selected literature texts comprise of novel, short story, drama and poem indirectly dissects the logical structure of Kuala Lumpur development by interrogating human and nature as the idea and basis for urban development. Hence, through LiteraCity, we outline Kuala Lumpur’s development process not merely from the factor of time and space setting, but covering the many events and locations as a “maturing” factor for the city to be built with words.
