| Summary: | Melaka State, situated roughly halfway
between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, has unique importance in
the global dialogue around the sustainability of our shared
urban future. At Melaka’s heart is its historic urban
center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) strategically
located along the Strait of Malacca, one of the world’s
busiest shipping routes and a link between the two largest
countries by population, China and India. Melaka has taken
significant steps toward realizing a more sustainable urban
growth trajectory, including becoming a member of global
platform for sustainable cities (GPSC) when the platform was
launched in 2016. In 2017, GPSC initiated the sustainability
outlook diagnostic with the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Malaysian
industry-government group for high technology (MIGHT) to
assist Melaka State in achieving the level of urban
sustainability to which it aspires. This detailed assessment
covers six dimensions of sustainability. Each report
provides significant insight into different aspects of
Melaka’s sustainability trajectory and highlights key areas
for improvement. |
