Jakarta's first botanical residence launched
PT Copylas Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Jakarta Setiabudi
Internasional Tbk, and Bogor Botanical Garden recently signed a
cooperation agreement for the development of Puri Botanical
Residence project, the first botanical residential estate in
Jakarta.
Under the agreement signed on June 16, the Center for Plant
Conservation at the Bogor Botanical Garden will act as the
authorized project representative to handle and supervise the
selection, planting, and maintenance of various plants in the
Puri Botanical Garden.
The signing of the agreement marked the soft launching of Puri
Botanical Garden located at Mega Kebon Jeruk. It will become the
first residential project in Jakarta area, which has been
developed and referred to by PT Copylas Indonesia as a Botanical
Residence.
The objectives of the Botanical Garden concept for Puri
Botanical Residence are to put balance into the rapid urban
development in Jakarta that has been dominated by physical
developments such as building structures and concrete areas, as
well as creating "green open space" residential areas that can
create a high standard of environmental quality.
It is also expected to contribute ecological, educative and
recreative benefits to residents of these areas, and the city of
Jakarta generally.
The restored green, open space residential area not only
provides a fresh and embellished atmosphere, but also restores
harmony and balance of natural resources. In turn, these benefits
also contribute to conformity, freshness, and liberation from
pollution and noise. In addition, it guarantees an improvement in
health and in the intelligence of residents.
Botanical Garden, or Kebun Botani, also known as Kebun Raya,
is vast garden that contains collections of plants from around
the world. Aside from plants, the Botanical Garden also has
numerous thematic gardens of various designs as well as divider
plants, which function as embellishment.
Plants are also carefully selected by the Botanical Garden to
help aid the conservation of birds in the city. -- The Jakarta
