This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Integrated Utility Network (SJUT) policy in improving the urban aesthetics of Medan City. The method used is a combination of descriptive qualitative and light quantitative approaches through interviews, observations, and surveys involving 100 respondents across four main urban corridors. The findings show that the implementation of SJUT improves the visual order of urban space, reduces visual disturbances caused by overhead cables, and strengthens policy integration toward Medan Smart City development.
