Abstract

This study identifies the key challenges and opportunities for enhancing urban resilience in Indonesia, focusing on the implementation of green city concepts as a strategic solution to improve urban sustainability. Case studies of Banda Aceh, Jakarta, and Surabaya demonstrate the potential and limitations of this approach in addressing critical issues such as flooding, coastal erosion, and urban heat island effects. A systematic literature review (SLR) and policy analysis related to urban resilience were employed, along with an evaluation of green city initiatives implemented in several major cities across Indonesia. Findings reveal that inadequate infrastructure, rapid urbanization, and limited budgets constitute major obstacles to adopting sustainable solutions. However, significant opportunities exist for enhancing urban resilience through collaborative efforts between the government, society, and the private sector. These opportunities include the application of environmentally friendly technologies, the development of robust early warning systems, and the implementation of adaptive urban planning strategies. This study concludes that strengthening urban resilience necessitates cross-sector collaboration, investments in resilient infrastructure, and increased public awareness and involvement in mitigating disaster risks and addressing the challenges of climate change.
