Educational town

Educational town

From Pikiran Rakyat

The educational town of Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java is growing and developing rapidly. This is evident by the flourishing higher educational institutions in the region, expansion of the industrial area, construction of various public facilities and establishment of housing complexes. This in turn will increase the revenue of the local government.

Follow-up measures that should be taken to support the growth are, among other things:

* The construction of shopping centers, a bus terminal and town transportation network.

* The road that links Cikuda and Cibeusi (at the borderline between Sumedang and Bandung regencies) should be widened and proper pavements and sufficient illumination should be provided.

* A toll road should be built to ease the traffic congestion which usually occurs between Cileunyi and Tanjungsari.

The development program above is by no means a luxury but is needed for an increasingly growing area which in future will attract investors to participate in its development plan.
