Sri Frapanti Frapanti

Abstract


Global climate change has made sustainable development a critical agenda for all countries, especially in the context of rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. The green dimension of development is increasingly vital, particularly for nations in Asia such as Indonesia, which is the largest Muslim-majority nation in the region, and faces severe urban and environmental pressures. This study explores the potential of Masjid Raya Al-Mashun in Medan as a central node for implementing Islamic Green City principles toward sustainable infrastructure development. Using a descriptive-analytical approach with data collected through document review and field surveys, the research analyzes how mosque-centered planning can support green space development, sustainable mobility, and effective waste management. The results show that integrating green principles around religious institutions fosters environmental stewardship, strengthens community engagement, and supports long-term urban resilience. The findings provide strategic insights for urban planners in similar Southeast Asian cities.
