The Governor of Jakarta has declared that Jakarta will be build and developed to become a "service city". This program is in accordance with the plan of the GOI to develop Indonesia to become a "New Industrializing Country" by the year 2020. There are 5 (five) pillars to support Jakarta as service city: the center of public service, the center of trade and goods distribution, the center of finance, the center of tourism, and the center of society development. One important aspect that should be taken into consideration is spatial planning. There should be a review whether the existing RUTR…

Jabotabek region is an area of 6580 km2 with a population more than 20 million. In the year 2010, Jabotabek is estimated to have more than 29 million population. For the last ten years, the role of private developers has increased sharply in this region.

This rapid new town development, however, has not been followed and facilitated with the needed infrastructure. The government regulations require only the private developers to provide internal or…

This article tries to discuss the relationship between urbanization, population dispersion, and spatial planning in Indonesia and also to assess the policy implication. Spatial planning in this context is the spatial distribution pattern of social economic, whereas urbanization in this context is the level of urban population compare to the entire population.
