The aim of the study was to analyze the land cover and vegetation existence in two sub-districts of Medan. The supervised classification analysis was conducted for year 2019. Ground check was a part of the study. There were six land cover classes found in the area, namely paddy fields, grass, shrubs, trees, mixed plant, and built-up land. The largest area within two sub-districts is built up areas. The results show less vegetated areas within two sub-districts. There was 86% of built-up areas in Medan Baru and 69.3% in Medan Selayang. Vegetation as an important element in the environment needs to be preserved within the urban areas. There is a need to plant trees in less vegetated areas. Green open space should be incorporated into city planning in order to preserve and improve the quality of the urban environment.
