Background
Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, home to 30 million people, and the engine of national economic growth. The city has grown from 500’000 inhabitants in the 1930’s to an urban agglomeration of over 30 million people in 2016. That means that the population has doubled in size every 20 years. More people means scarcity of space, scarcity of water, and scarcity of jobs, but also more waste, more pollution, and more poverty. Government-based interventions often follow the latest trends, rather than directing development based on strategies guided by long-term visions. Usually these interventions are limited to infrastructure measures to mitigate urgent problems, looking for immediate tangible impacts, not checking the sustainability and ultimate benefits.
The Human Cities Coalition aims at inclusive urban development with a human face supported by private sector-driven initiatives to improve living conditions and livelihood in urban areas. The overarching approach is based on Market Systems development, which complements Government endeavors, and which is based on multi-stakeholder participation that engages the Private Sector, the Urban Community and the Government as interdependent actors, and mutual beneficiaries. The purpose is not only the effective impact, but also the sustainable social, economic and environmental benefits.
Sharing Dutch global expertise can be beneficial for Indonesia, if it is based on thorough knowledge of local conditions, familiarity with local institutions, established contacts with local players, and respect for what has already been accomplished. The gigantic scale of urban development that makes Jakarta the world’s second largest city, and the mind-boggling pace of urban growth and change are unprecedented. Building on accomplishments, experience and examples is essential to accelerate development and share the benefits, rather than reinventing the wheel. Lessons learned will benefit both the Indonesian and the Dutch partners with outlooks for long-term cooperation, also beyond urban development in Jakarta. The cooperation can serve as a bridge for long-term economic partnerships.
