Problems and Solutions with Jakarta
Problems
Poor air quality[“air quality is so bad it cuts 2.3 years off a citizens’ lifespan”(Earth5)]
Nearby coal-fired power plants & Transport emissions; manufacturing
River pollution[“Citarum River dubbed world’s most polluted river”(World Bank)]
Sinking of the city [“Estimates state that 95% of Jakarta will be underwater”]
Low lying city: as the sea level rises, Jakarta will sink, being only 8m above sea level
Bad waste management [“Jakarta produces more than 7,000 tons of trash per day that end up in the landfill
Rate of recycled plastic was 24%
Linear economy: Based on “make”-”sell”- “dispose”
Increasing population
Dependence on fuel[“Fuel subsidies worth 2.5% of GDP put in place”(NatGeo)]
As a result of this, there is an endemic amount of waste: people careless about using fuel
Water: The city is prone to flooding
Less than half the city’s population has access to piped water
Illegal extraction of groundwater – both by businesses and the public
Solution
Adaptation actions:
Planting trees and creating green spaces to reduce the impact of air pollution
Establishing “pocket parks” around the city
Redirecting streams and rivers to recycle water and ensure that adequate water is given to everyone
Encouraging the use of alternative fuels
Triple Articulated Buses(200 times cheaper than a subway)
Central Bus Lane
Policies
Awareness program for the community:
training citizens to recycle
Raising awareness about river pollution in informal settlements
Climate adaptations
Building 'pocket parks’ across the area in order to improve air quality
Allocated space to grow plants native to Jakarta, which can then be picked and sold to improve the neighbourhood’s economy
Vertical gardens on new public housing projects to promote an increase in greenery
Greenhouses
Creating an artificial environment for planets to thrive(growing organic plants necessary)
This will be net-zero, and completely sustainable
the neighbourhood itself sources its own food, which is helpful for economic growth and sustainability
Solar and hydro electricity
Parks will have furniture made of construction waste
Water
Recycling all water and waste
Wastewater, will be sent to a treatment plant, and then sent back, where is can be used for the same purpose
Transportation
Creating a central bus lane through which only buses can pass
Creating a cycling lane to allow for easy transportation
Creating car parks & encouraging the sharing of cars- neighbours ca buy one car they share between themselves
The city will consist of

Background research
Economy
an array of markets to fulfil the requirements of the city
Slower economic growth, a growing deficit, a falling currency
newly industrialised country.
seventh-largest GDP and the 17th-largest nominal GDP in the world (PPP).
significant for trade due to its port location.
mineral exports are dominated by natural gas and petroleum.
Climate
Hot and humid throughout the year
minimum of 22.8°C and maximum of 30.2°C
lot of rainfall, temperatures are cooler in mountainous regions
never very cold,
rains 252 out of 365 days a year. 45.28 inches per year
Physical features
Heavily polluted by greywater from households, commercial buildings and discharges from industries
30 million people = population
Low, flat alluvial plain through which 13 rivers flow
Prone to floods
