Shah Alam is located within the district of Petaling and a portion of the district of Klang in the state of Selangor with total area 290.3&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. Due to its recent expansion, it is bordered by the cities of [[Subang Jaya]] and [[Petaling Jaya]] in the east, the district of Klang in the west, the district of [[Kuala Selangor]] and [[Selayang]] in the north, and the district of [[Kuala Langat]] in the south. Shah Alam is also one of the major cities within the [[Klang Valley]], an area in Malaysia comprising Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs, and adjoining cities and towns in the state of Selangor, due to the [[Klang River]] flowing through it on its way westward to the [[Strait of Malacca]].<ref name=mbsalatar />
