How to make walking in Jakarta more fun (Video)

Why are Jakartans lazy to walk?

• Does Jakarta already have active frontage?
• What exactly is active frontage?

Check out the explanation in the Jakarta Property Institute video with Archica Danisworo from PDW Architect.

Why is there a lack of active frontage in Jakarta?

Why is it difficult to find active frontage in Jakarta?
One of the reasons is because of city planning regulations that require building frontages to be far from the street frontage.
For example, many of Jakarta's sidewalks are adjacent to parking lots.

Active frontage can be created in Jakarta if the building frontage is closer to the street frontage.
Pedestrians can interact with building activities, and sidewalks will be more attractive.

Let's make sidewalks in Jakarta more fun!

What can we do to realize active frontage in Jakarta?

Architect: create a ground floor with openings for storefronts.
Government: relieve developers so that buildings can be close to the street; make sidewalks more comfortable and attractive.

More comfortable and attractive sidewalks will make more people walk and be healthier. Not only that, Jakarta's pollution can also be reduced.
