Summary
The regional development is basically aimed to improve the welfare of the people of a region in a sustainable manner. Big cities can not be separated from the transportation system if they want to grow and develop well in the future, in this occasion, we will analyze the city of Medan. Home to more than half of the world’s population, face unprecedented transportation and mobility challenges. With rapid population and economic growth, the demands for urban mobility are steadily rising. Some 8 billion trips are made every day in cities of which nearly half (47%) are by private motorized modes. In 2050, there may be 3 to 4 times as many passenger-kilometers travelled as half a century earlier (International Transportation Forum, Robert Cervero, 2011).
