“…The unavailability of affordable land in locations close to the place where the urban poor get their income forces them to live in informal settlements that are not healthy and safe, with inadequate infrastructure and services as well (Jones, 2017). Limited access, rights, and opportunities for people who are marginalized lead to high social disparities in urban areas (Baker and Gadgil, 2017). Crime and violence arise as a result of increasing inequality in terms of access, rights, and opportunities (Baker and Gadgil, 2017).…”

“…Essentially, an inclusive city is a city with safe access to healthy public spaces and affordable public transportation for everyone, as well as a place where people are able to cycle and walk safely and comfortably (Schreiber and Carius, 2016;Baker and Gadgil, 2017). An inclusive city is friendly to everyone in it.…”

“…An inclusive city is friendly to everyone in it. However, the inclusive city is not only about access; it gives certainty to its inhabitants to be accommodated, respected and given equal opportunity, regardless of their age, ethnicity, beliefs, abilities, income, and gender (Gerometta et al, 2005;Schreiber and Carius, 2016;Baker and Gadgil, 2017). The main idea of the inclusive city encourages every individual within society without exception to be able to coexist with one another, with each individual having the same opportunity to participate in every aspect of life in the community (Schreiber and Carius, 2016).…”

“…An inclusive city provides equal political opportunities to its people and cares about groups of people who are categorized as poor. Inclusive cities listen to the voices of the urban poor, involve them in city planning and first of all provide the basic infrastructure and services such as affordable housing, clean water, and electricity (Shah et al, 2015;Baker and Gadgil, 2017). They provide opportunities for people who are blind, deaf, and disabled within the category of the urban poor to be able to move about independently (Prince, 2008;Alessandria, 2016).…”

Currently, cities all over the world are experiencing pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including cities in Indonesia. Studies show that the number of poor has been increasing since the spread of COVID-19, mostly in urban areas. Recent news indicates that the pandemic has the potential to add millions of new urban poor due to the threat of future layoffs faced by low-income people. The current condition in Indonesia’s urban areas indicates exclusion of the urban poor, which underlines the need for inclusive city development. Indeed, this crisis exposes the exclusion of vulnerable people, reveals deep inequalities in society and exacerbates the existing inequality among the Indonesian population. Because of the ongoing disruptions that arise in urban areas, the COVID-19 pandemic offers the opportunity to rethink the importance of inclusive city development so that they may become thriving cities for all. Besides, this study also argues that only inclusive cities can grow and thrive under all circumstances and future challenges. This paper discusses how to transform challenges amid COVID-19 to opportunities that can promote inclusive city development. Abstrak. Saat ini, kota-kota di seluruh dunia sedang mengalami tekanan akibat pandemi COVID-19, termasuk kota-kota di Indonesia. Studi menunjukkan bahwa jumlah penduduk miskin terus meningkat sejak penyebaran COVID-19 yang umumnya terjadi di wilayah perkotaan. Berita terbaru menunjukkan bahwa pandemi berpotensi menambah jutaan orang miskin baru di perkotaan akibat ancaman PHK di masa depan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah. Kondisi perkotaan di Indonesia saat ini menunjukkan eksklusi dari kaum miskin kota, yang menggarisbawahi perlunya pembangunan kota yang inklusif. Memang, krisis ini mengekspos pengucilan orang-orang yang rentan, mengungkapkan ketidaksetaraan yang dalam di masyarakat dan memperburuk ketimpangan yang ada di antara penduduk Indonesia. Karena gangguan yang terus menerus muncul di perkotaan, pandemi COVID-19 menawarkan kesempatan untuk memikirkan kembali pentingnya pembangunan kota yang inklusif sehingga dapat menjadi kota yang berkembang untuk semua. Selain itu, studi ini juga berkesimpulan bahwa hanya kota inklusif yang dapat tumbuh dan berkembang dalam segala situasi dan tantangan di masa depan. Makalah ini membahas bagaimana mengubah tantangan di tengah COVID-19 menjadi peluang yang dapat mendorong pembangunan kota yang inklusif. Kata kunci. kota inklusif, pengembangan kota, COVID-19, Indonesia.
