Dynamic Cities, Dynamic Futures: Urban Planning in Metropolitan Jakarta and Indonesia’s New Capital Nusantara
The Netherlands is prepared for the short term with climate change, but in the long term the prospect is that the landscape will change drastically and that entire urban areas will even be abandoned. In other parts of the world, such as Asia, there are urban areas where the effects of climate change and pollution lead to unliveable situations. How these areas are already making adjustments and what solutions are being sought will be discussed this evening. This evening we will discuss Indonesia’s current capital Jakarta and the new capital Nusantara.
Jakarta
Despite of the city’s disadvantages, such as low-lying position in the delta and transected by 13 rivers, Metropolitan Jakarta houses around 11 million residents. Flooding exacerbated by land subsidence is a pressing concern. This session will explore effective strategies to tackle these issues. Followed by a presentation on strategies to realize social housing in this densely populated metropolis. Despite its challenges, Jakarta boasts significant historical assets. The last presentation will focus on the revitalization of a major historical open space in the city center, aiming to enhance the much-needed green space in Jakarta.
Nusantara
Addressing the persistent challenges faced by Jakarta, the discussion on relocating the capital city dates back to colonial times. The decisive move to shift Indonesia’s capital to Kalimantan was made in 2019, and the construction of the core central governmental area of Nusantara is advancing remarkably. To showcase the climate-proof and sustainable design approach, the presentation will unveil the winning masterplan, featuring a green and sustainable concept for a Smart Forest City. Subsequenty designs for the Vice President’s Palace and a Church within the religious complex in Nusantara will be presented. Both designs emphasize the preservation of site contours, existing vegetation, and aspire to be exemplary world-class sustainable tropical contemporary buildings.
