        "content": "<p>Ahead of Jakarta\u2019s 499th anniversary on 22 June 2026, the DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government is holding two events involving residents: the\nJakarta Future Festival (JFF) 2026 and the Jakarta Fair Kemayoran. JFF\nserves as a platform for ideas about the city\u2019s future, whilst the\nJakarta Fair acts as a space for celebration as well as a driver of the\ncommunity\u2019s economy. JFF 2026 was held at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM),\nCentral Jakarta, from 5 to 7 June 2026. The festival, initiated by the\nDKI Jakarta Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), brought\ntogether residents, communities, academics, business players, young\npeople, and policy makers. Over three days, JFF 2026 attracted more than\n80,000 visitors. The event featured 52 discussion sessions consisting of\n45 Urban Talks and seven Jakarta Forecasts, involved 250 speakers,\nincluding 10 international speakers, and showcased 27 music and arts and\nculture performances. Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno closed\nJFF 2026 at Graha Bhakti Budaya, TIM, on Sunday evening (7\/6). He said\nthe festival successfully gathered citizens\u2019 ideas whilst strengthening\ncross-sector collaboration. \u2018This festival is not an ordinary meeting,\nbut a platform for presenting ideas. We received a lot of input, and we\nwill collaborate on it in Jakarta\u2019s future development,\u2019 Rano said. JFF\n2026 carried the theme \u2018Navigating Resilience\u2019. Issues discussed\nincluded climate change, water and waste management, housing, renewable\nenergy, tourism, and strategies for building a more resilient and\nadaptive Jakarta. DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the\ndevelopment of Jakarta cannot rely solely on infrastructure. According\nto him, the city must also make its residents feel comfortable and have\na sense of belonging to Jakarta. \u2018The most important thing is not only\nbuilding the infrastructure, but how to make Jakartans feel they own\nJakarta. How to make people in Jakarta comfortable,\u2019 Pramono said.\nMeanwhile, House of Representatives Commission VII member Putra Nababan\nwelcomed the holding of JFF 2026. He said the event could be a container\nfor various parties to filter aspirations from the community. He stated\nthese aspirations could be utilised to produce a formulation for\nJakarta\u2019s future development plans. \u2018Various stakeholders were involved,\nincluding creative economy players, tourism, the younger generation,\ntechnocrats, economists, and so on. By making Jakarta more inclusive,\nespecially in capturing and filtering aspirations from the community in\nformulating future plans,\u2019 Putra Nababan said. He hoped JFF 2026 would\nproduce impactful and influential results for Jakarta\u2019s citizens and\nnationally. \u2018I think forums like this must be maintained, where Jakarta\nis truly cohesive for all groups. Hopefully, the output and outcome will\nbe impactful and influential for the people of Jakarta and Indonesia,\u2019\nhe stated. Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya expressed a similar\nsentiment. According to him, strengthening multi-party collaboration is\none of the characteristics of a modern city. \u2018One of the characteristics\nof modern cities or future cities is being collaborative and involving\nmany parties and an exchange of ideas that makes the city advanced and\ncontinuously developing,\u2019 he explained. He also appreciated the\nenthusiasm of young people at the event, who appeared keen to share\nideas for realising the future city. \u2018I was very pleased to see this\nevent, seeing young people, even many Gen Z here, participating in\ndeliberations, exchanging ideas towards the envisioned future of the\ncity,\u2019 he said. The series of Jakarta anniversary events continued with\nthe Jakarta Fair Kemayoran 2026. This multi-product exhibition will be\nheld for 32 days, from 11 June to 12 July 2026, at Jakarta International\nExpo (JIExpo), Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.
