        "summary": "The Indonesian government is addressing urban slum issues in central Jakarta by planning to construct 1,000 modular temporary housing units (Huntara) to relocate residents from railway track embankments in the Pasar Senen and Tanah Abang areas. Utilising efficient modular technology inspired by projects in the new capital IKN, the multi-storey low-rise buildings will be developed by state-owned construction firms like WIKA and Adhi Karya, ensuring rapid construction on limited land owned by PT KAI. This initiative incorporates Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) principles to maintain residents' economic access while integrating with public transport hubs, following presidential directives for urgent action.",
        "content": "<p>The government has taken a drastic step to untangle the complex issue\nof slum settlements in the heart of the capital, Jakarta. The Ministry\nof Public Works (PU) is currently developing a scheme to build 1,000\nunits of Temporary Housing (Huntara) based on modular technology to\nrelocate residents who have long settled along railway tracks. The main\ntarget areas are the densely populated zones around Pasar Senen and\nTanah Abang Stations. Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo revealed that\nthe choice of modular technology is a primary consideration to meet\ntargets for speedy construction. Adopting the success of construction\nworker housing (HPK) in the Nusantara Capital (IKN), the modular model\nallows buildings to be erected in a short time without compromising\nquality. He stated that the Ministry of PU is coordinating with relevant\nministries. The plan is to create 1,000 units of temporary housing.\nInterestingly, these Huntara units will not expand horizontally due to\nland limitations but will grow vertically. Dody indicated that the\nhousing is likely to take the form of low-rise buildings with about 3 to\n4 storeys. Given the urgency of the President\u2019s directive, the Ministry\nof PU will certainly collaborate with state-owned construction companies\nas the spearhead of development. Major names such as PT Wijaya Karya\n(Persero) Tbk. (WIKA), PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk, or PT PP Properti\nTbk, which have strong track records in modular construction, are among\nthe primary candidates. According to him, the state-owned construction\ncompanies have the technical capacity to transform limited land in areas\nowned by PT KAI into functional housing. This relocation is designed so\nthat residents do not lose economic access. With the TOD concept,\nHuntara will be directly integrated with stations and public transport\nroutes. \u201cThe key lies in the meeting with PT KAI. I need to know first\nhow much land area there is, its position, whether it\u2019s in one expanse\nor scattered. Once coordination with KAI is clear, we can discuss design\nand budget in detail,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>",
