This workshop does not only focus on built environment and spatially based solutions, but it will embrace urban tactics, innovative solutions, inter-disciplinary approaches and resilient tips. Your idea can be derived from diverse subjects, from architecture to urban planning, from product design to campaign design, from social approach to economic or environmental approach. It could be anything, as long as you believe that your idea is smart and could improve the living conditions in Jakarta. We are also interested in projects that take human behavior into both sustainability and social cohesion in the Jakarta’s urban context. Your ideas should address one OR combinations of these challenges:

SMART CITY=Smart Citizen + Smart Process

The idea of Smart City is not only limited to geo-localization and wikification of places or massive use of ICTs (information and communication technology) in the city. Some people believe that smart cities is about the accessibility to and use of ICTs for citizens and city administration; or it’s about its human and social capital that accumulated in various concepts; or it’s about the education level of urban population and the generation of localized knowledge. Or sometimes it can be identified smart cities as its smart economy, its smart mobility and its smart environmental strategy.

Smart citizens produce a smart city, and vice versa. We believe that a smart city is a city that build based on citizen agreement. It will keep learning and adaptive. Its citizens build it together; therefore it is also an accumulation of citizen’s intelligence. A smart city is a city where its citizens able to participate in shaping and deciding their future together.

 

Is JAKARTA Smart Enough?

Plato said that ‘The City is what it is because our citizens are what they are”. A City is a process; a repository of possibilities by the people and from the people. And being smart is one of o solution to be sustainable in the future.

Jakarta is the megacity with 9.6 millions registered citizens that covered 665km2 of land and 1800 km2 of water. 13 main rivers run through Jakarta, almost 30% of its land is under sea level. Jakarta is sinking at the rate of 1-18 cm/year depends on location. Jakarta is a perfect combination of urban man-made disaster and natural disaster: +/- 900 fires every year, almost 300 floods in 70% of Jakarta areas, extreme drought in East and West area of Jakarta and even tornado in Thousand Islands. In 2004, the Study on Integrated Transportation Policy predicted that Jakarta would have a massive traffic jam and transportation in 2014 if no mass rapid transportation built. The current and average car speed is decreasing and now reaches almost 10 km/hour. Jakarta is also the center of Indonesia economy, rapidly urbanized in periphery area and an economic magnet. Current Jakarta economic growth is 7% and the minimum wage in Jakarta is the highest in Indonesia (USD 250/month)

But Jakarta is also a megacity that full of optimism with the new populist governor.  This is a melting pot of culture. The morphology of Jakarta consists of historical walled city, urban kampongs, gated communities, superblocks and various forms. Forthcoming urbanization trend is expected to intensify Jakarta density as the Indonesia population grows.

This workshop will give opportunity for young people to think smartly and give an alternative solution to make Jakarta a better and smarter city. We will select maximun 2 participants to be invited in design workshop in Aedes Campus, Berlin from 10-20 June 2013.
