The SUMP for Balikpapan will explicitly integrate urban logistics planning, biodiversity conservation, climate mitigation and adaptation, social inclusion (including gender and disability), and local economic empowerment, reflecting Balikpapan’s strategic role in supporting the development of the new national capital (IKN) and regional growth in East Kalimantan.
