The cities that emerge from Indonesia s
rapid urbanization will be key determinants of the country s
overall economic development and competitiveness, as well as
their inclusiveness and environmental sustainability.
However, without strategically planned investments, policy
interventions, and institutional capacity, mismanaged
urbanization could become an obstacle to sustainable growth.
The city planning labs core module will be initially
implemented in four cities: Surabaya, Palembang, Denpasar
and Balikpapan, with two additional modules in each city. In
the short term, the CPL will: (i) provide just in time ,
demand driven data and analysis that can feed into immediate
decisions, and (ii) streamline ongoing urban management
functions, such as building permitting and tax-related
functions. In the medium term, it will provide
cost-effective analytics to cities that can feed into
planning and investment decisions, reducing the expense
involved in contracting consultants during each planning
cycle. In the long term, the CPL will build local technical
capacity, by gathering expertise from Indonesia and
international sources to work closely with local staff. Over
time, external involvement will diminish as local capacity
strengthens. The activities of the CPL will be conducted in
modular fashion, each pertaining to a different sector. The
sector modules are: instituting the city planning lab and
spatial growth analytics (core module); city economic
competitiveness; slum analytics and management systems;
climate and risk resilience planning systems; and monitoring
land and real estate markets.
