Corridor design towards sustainable and resilient City in Medan (case study: MT Haryono Corridor)

The city corridor is a public space that anyone can use. Corridor MT Haryono is one of the corridors in Medan Kota District, Medan City, with a length of roughly 1 km, and it has yet to implement sustainable and resilient development. Corridors must be remodeled to address current and future issues related to adapting and transforming existing urban infrastructure to climate change, environmental damage, disasters, traffic, and other challenges. This research aims to determine the model design in the physical infrastructure to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the MT Haryono corridor. This study employs a qualitative approach. The authors study the five aspects of Urban Form in the research site and do the SWOT analysis. The result of the analysis will be the basis for creating a design to remodel the corridor based on a sustainable and resilient city concept. Hence, the authors recommend four approaches to remodeling the corridor with the sustainable and resilient approach, namely: (1) green infrastructure application through a perforated pipe and bioswale; (2) the application of green roof, green wall, and water harvesting system; (3) walkway improvement model; (4) public transportation infrastructure improvement. The authors believed the proposed model recommendations are sufficient to meet the current and future challenges of the area to create a sustainable and resilient urban space.
