Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Mayor of Central Jakarta Administration,\nArifin, has requested that development within the region be aligned with\nthe capacity of infrastructure, transport, the environment, and the\nneeds of residents to ensure that urban growth does not become a burden\nfor future generations.<\/p>\n
\u201cDevelopment, ultimately, must result in benefits that can be felt by\nthe community. We want to ensure that today\u2019s development does not\nbecome a burden, but rather a positive legacy,\u201d Arifin said in Jakarta\non Wednesday.<\/p>\n
During a socialisation event titled \u201cOrganising Jakarta for 500\nYears: Strengthening Spatial and Building Governance in Supporting\nJakarta as a Global City\u201d, Arifin stated that Central Jakarta holds a\nstrategic position as a centre for government, trade, and services, as\nwell as an area with high social and cultural value.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the dynamics of development in the area require management\nthat is not solely oriented towards economic growth.<\/p>\n
He also emphasised the importance of maintaining established areas\nwhile directing new development to strengthen the region\u2019s functions\nwithout eroding its historical value and identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cEstablished areas need to be maintained, while new developments must\nbe directed to strengthen the overall function of the region,\u201d Arifin\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He further stressed the importance of managing government buildings\nas examples for other building managers. According to him, government\nbuildings are regional assets whose quality, safety, and sustainability\nmust be preserved.<\/p>\n
\u201cControlling spatial utilisation plays a strategic role. Increasing\nbuilding intensity, including through the Floor Area Ratio (KLB), needs\nto be managed by considering access to public transport and\ninfrastructure capacity,\u201d noted Vera.<\/p>\n
She stated that Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 11 of 2026\nregarding incentives and disincentives for increasing the Floor Area\nRatio (KLB) serves as one of the instruments for regulating building\nintensity.<\/p>\n
She assessed that increasing building intensity should not only be\nviewed through the addition of space, but also through the developer\u2019s\ncontribution to the area, including the provision of infrastructure,\npublic facilities, green open spaces, and pedestrian connectivity.<\/p>\n
In addition to spatial planning, Vera emphasised that the management\nof buildings must consider aspects of safety, health, comfort,\naccessibility, and feasibility, as well as the implementation of energy\nand water efficiency principles.<\/p>\n
She revealed that regional-owned buildings must meet these standards\nand serve as models for good building management, including through\nregular maintenance, safety system inspections, and periodic\nrecording.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/central-jakarta-mayor-urges-development-to-align-with-infrastructure-capacity-1790154377", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
