description 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.
