Background :

Rapid urbanization has brought about major problems in cities in Indonesia, including, among others, the severe lack of infrastructure facilities and services, and, as a consequence, the decline in the quality of urban living environment. Responses to these problems were mostly fragmented and ad hoc in nature. Within this setting, the Indonesian Government launched in 1985 IUIDP with its basic concepts of decentralization, bottom-up planning, and integrated and multi-sector medium-term programming of investment in urban development. YUDP I represented the entry of the Swiss Government’s technical assistance into the implementation of IUIDP.
 

Objectives
The objectives of the Yogyakarta Urban Development Project are described in the Memorandum of Understanding of 28 November 1988 between the Government of Indonesia and Switzerland.

• Acceleration of basic sustainable urban infrastructure development in a planned and coordinated manner.
