| Summary: | A city’s ability to provide affordable
housing and municipal services is a key consideration of its
urban sustainability. While urbanization and economic growth
certainly create opportunities for a better quality of life,
they also often are the source of rising inequalities and
exclusion within cities, which affect a city’s overall
sustainability. Malaysia now qualifies an
upper‐middle‐income country. Melaka State has benefited
greatly from Malaysia’s strong economic performance, with
one of Malaysia’s highest GDP per capita and solid
employment and income indicators. However, besides economic
growth, the ability to share the benefits of growth with and
to fulfil the needs and aspirations of its citizens is also
a key component of urban sustainability which has to be
measured and monitored with certain key indicators. This
supporting report provides a high-level assessment of the
inclusiveness of Melaka’s built environment and how it
serves Melaka’s residents. |
