Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Indonesian cities has intensified pressure on urban mobility, marked by congestion, weak intermodal integration, environmental stress, and vulnerability to disruption. As a transportation and sustainability researcher, the author was invited to share Kendari City transportation resilience experience at the UCLG ASPAC forum, Navigating Urban Uncertainty and Strengthening Resilience for Cities in Asia Pacific, held on 5 May 2026, through an oral presentation and case-based discussion framed around five resilience principles: connectivity, redundancy, robustness, rapidity, and adaptability. Field observation of Kendari initiatives revealed persistent coordination gaps among implementing stakeholders, while forum discussion reaffirmed that technology adoption and financial readiness remain the most decisive factors for advancing transportation sustainability in Asia-Pacific cities.
