W Wolter Monginsidi street’s corridor area has sprawl characteristics although the region had been controlled through strict regulations and policies both in terms of transport links and layout. The existing sprawl characteristics then surfacing into a variety of problems, such urban congestion, lacking of pedestrian accessibility, and the dynamic growth in the region. The purpose of this study is to examining characteristics of ribbon development in the corridor. The method used is descriptive method based on planning documents and field surveys. The results of the study is that existing ribbon development pattern in the area could be indentified by physical and change of land use as a form of emerging agglomeration. This study also shows the significant role of urban spatial structure policies and regulations as a good predictor of the existing ribbon development patterns in Wolter Monginsidi street’s corridor area. The findings emphasize the need to consider a systemic perspective in solving sprawl-related problems in areas characterized with ribbon development.
