In 1956, Kuala Lumpur was still a relatively small city compared to what it has become today. It was the capital city of the Federation of Malaya, under British colonial influence. The city would have had a mix of traditional Malay and Chinese architectural elements, alongside some British colonial buildings.

The road network and transportation infrastructure would have been less developed than it is now, reflecting a more modest urban layout. The city center might have had a few key streets or avenues where commercial and administrative activities were concentrated.

Residential areas would have existed but may not have been as expansive or densely populated as in contemporary times. Traditional Malay kampongs (villages) and Chinese shophouses could have coexisted with more modern housing developments.

Landmarks like the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and the Jamek Mosque might have already been present, contributing to the city's architectural identity.

Green spaces and parks would have likely been more abundant compared to today, providing areas for recreation and leisure.

In summary, Kuala Lumpur in 1956 would have been a city with a mix of colonial and local architectural styles, a developing road network, and a growing population. However, to get precise and detailed information about the city plan of Kuala Lumpur in 1956, you may need to refer to historical archives, city planning documents, or consult local historians and experts.
