Jakarta \u2014 Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Chair of the Housing Task Force and\nSpecial Envoy to the President of the Republic of Indonesia, has stated\nthat President Prabowo Subianto is requesting acceleration of the three\nmillion housing development programme to meet public housing needs and\nreduce the national housing backlog.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President wants this (three million housing development) to move\nquickly, very quickly,\u201d said Hashim during the launch of housing\ndevelopment in support of the Three Million Housing Programme on land\nowned by PT Kereta Api Indonesia near Manggarai Station in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
Hashim revealed that he met with the President several weeks ago to\ndiscuss the programme\u2019s progress, including various challenges that\nremain in implementing housing development in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
He stated that during this meeting, the President believed the\nhousing development programme appeared to be progressing slowly and\ntherefore required acceleration so that housing provision targets for\nthe public could be realised promptly.<\/p>\n
Hashim explained that one obstacle being faced was the bureaucratic\nprocess, given that the ministry handling the housing sector is a new\nministry and still requires adjustment in programme implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met the President several weeks ago and discussed this programme\n(three million housing development). The President asked why the housing\nprogramme seemed somewhat slow, it seemed slow to the President,\u201d\nexplained Hashim.<\/p>\n
\u201cI explained frankly that there are bureaucratic problems. The\nMinistry of Housing and Settlements is a new ministry, only a year old,\nand so forth,\u201d added Hashim.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he expressed optimism that the programme could progress\nmore rapidly with support from various parties, including PT Kereta Api\nIndonesia (Persero), which is participating in the development of\ntransit-integrated housing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd frankly, I can see and report to the President that with PT\nKereta Api Indonesia, and with the participation of the gentlemen and\nladies from KAI, the three million housing development will soon be\nrealised,\u201d said Hashim.<\/p>\n
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is developing 5,484 units of\nhousing integrated with public transport at land assets around Manggarai\nStation in Jakarta, Kiaracondong Station in Bandung, Semarang Poncol\nStation, and Surabaya Gubeng Station in support of the government\u2019s\nthree million housing development programme for urban communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cPT Kereta Api Indonesia supports the national development programme\nthrough utilisation of railway assets to provide housing integrated with\npublic transport,\u201d said PT KAI President Director Bobby Rasyidin.<\/p>\n
The development is being carried out in synergy with the Ministry of\nHousing and Settlements, the Investment Management Agency of Nusantara\nSovereign Wealth (BPI Danantara), and other relevant parties with a\npublic transport-based area concept known as Transit Oriented\nDevelopment (TOD).<\/p>\n
The housing to be developed includes 45-type and 52-type units for\nurban communities. Housing development is set to begin soon, with\nhandover of keys to residents targeted for early 2027.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the company also records approximately 320\nmillion square metres of land throughout Indonesia with potential to be\ndeveloped into Transit Oriented Development areas to expand access to\nurban housing.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/hashim-president-requests-acceleration-of-three-million-housing-development-programme-1773665768", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
