The City of Medan’s Green City Action Plan (GCAP) is an initiative that serves as a “road map” towards improving the quality of life in the city by applying “green attributes” generally known as green planning and design, green open space, green building, green energy, green transportation, green waste, green water, and green industry and commerce, which are all significantly based on and supported by a green community. The basic reason for the City of Medan to prepare a GCAP is to help achieve a development that is sustainable, fair, and profitable at the same time because we are convinced that green development can facilitate economic and social equity as it will be able to avoid and manage conflicts between economic interests on the one side and the need for environmental preservation on the other side.
