Pramono: Rp134 Billion Semanggi Park Revitalisation Requires No Regional Budget Funds
The Jakarta Provincial Government has officially commenced the revitalisation of Semanggi Park with a budget of Rp134 billion, funded entirely without recourse to the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).
“This development requires approximately 134 billion rupiah, and it is entirely not from the APBD,” said Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung at Semanggi Park in South Jakarta on Friday (20 February).
Pramono affirmed that the financing for the Semanggi Park revitalisation is purely the result of third-party collaboration. The Jakarta Provincial Government has partnered with the private sector through a strategic cooperation scheme.
According to Pramono, the partner will receive naming rights for the Semanggi Park precinct for a total of 11.5 years, comprising 1.5 years of construction and 10 years of operations.
“I apologise, but for the time being I will not disclose the naming rights holder,” Pramono said.
Pramono guaranteed that the historical identity of the site would not be altered and that the name Semanggi would be retained. The revitalisation is built around three core concepts: regeneration, reconnection, and reactivation.
These three concepts aim to revive the original vision of Indonesia’s first president, Sukarno, who in 1962 first conceived the four-leaf clover form of Semanggi as a symbol of function, connectivity, transformation, and aesthetics.
“To be clear, this place will remain named Semanggi — there will be no change of name,” he said.
Through this project, Semanggi Park is designed to once again become an inclusive, interconnected public space that can be utilised by diverse community groups for various activities.
Pramono also gave assurances that the entire construction process would not disrupt the flow of traffic in Jakarta.
“This is, after all, a major transport corridor in Jakarta — the city’s principal showcase,” Pramono said.
The new face of the six-hectare precinct is targeted to serve as a special gift for the celebration of Jakarta’s 500th anniversary.
“I hope it will be completed by 22 June [2027], as that marks Jakarta’s anniversary. We are marking 500 years of Jakarta with the construction of this Semanggi project,” he said.
