AbstractLand consolidation (LC) is a land management technique by which a government agency or private association can consolidate separate land parcels for their servicing and subdivision into an appropriate pattern of streets, parks and sites for urban uses at no cost to the government. In Indonesia there are two kinds of LC projects, "basic LC" based on National Land Agency (BPN) land objectives and "full LC" based on both land acquisition and the construction of infrastructure. LC projects were commenced by the central government through the BPN in 1981 and since that time 51 LC projects have been undertaken by the government. One of the main problems of urban development in Medan is the unavailability of land for development which is partly caused by lack of public infrastructure works , and government failure to control land hoarding which has caused much vacant land to be left unutilized within the urban areas. The government has inadequate financing for the infrastructure investment needed to cope up with rapid urbanization. Most of this is by unplanned and uncontrolled urban development. The majority of urban households are in the low income group so that only a few of them can afford to acquire a building plot with services. The aims of this study are to assess LC as a technique for implementing urban development, to identify the potential of LC to cope urban problem in Medan and to compare the LC technique with other techniques . The study found that the LC technique is a good one for providing land for infrastructure at no cost to the government but there is needed to improve the LC technique still further in the future.
