Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta was once mostly marshland where
farmers grew rice and vegetables. But that has all changed.
Kelapa Gading is one of the fastest developing areas in the
capital, and shops, offices, malls and other commercial
businesses have come to dominate the landscape.

The result of this unchecked development has been flooding,
which has left thousands of Kelapa Gading residents bitter at the
city administration's negligence of the environment.
