Low impact development (LID) is a sustainable land use and planning strategy that aims to minimize the environmental impacts of development. A community can enhance their water resources and create sustainable and resilient neighbourhoods. This approach has demonstrated success in managing stormwater and promoting water reuse globally, however, its suitability in developing countries like Indonesia remains uncertain and requires further investigation. The implementation of LID in developing countries may face several challenges including high density and complex drainage networks, combined sewer usage, clay soil type, irregular housing layouts, community socio-economic characteristics, affordability, cost, and the availability of regulations and policies. With proper planning and site-specific strategies, LID can be implemented effectively in Indonesia. Clear regulations, secured funding source and community-based LID are all essential for successful LID deployment. This paper can be used as a starting point for considering LID implementation in Indonesia and other countries with similar characteristics.
