We are exceptionally proud to share that we have officially been awarded the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Pedestrian Oriented Design (POD) activity in Central Jakarta by the Indonesia Australia Partnership for Infrastructure (KIAT) supported by the Australian Government and implemented by DT Global.
KIAT supports sustainable and inclusive economic growth through improved access to infrastructure for all people. KIAT works with the Government of Indonesia (GOI), Government of Australia, the private sector, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and other development partners, as well as civil society to help achieve the following outcomes:
- Improved policies and regulations for infrastructure development
- High quality projects prepared for financing by GOI, MDBs or the private sector
- High quality infrastructure delivery, management, and maintenance by GOI
- Infrastructure policies, design and delivery are more inclusive for women and people with disabilities
The TOD and POD activity is being undertaken at an opportune time when the Government of Indonesia is investing substantially in public transport infrastructure to redress crippling urban congestion. The activity will provide support to the Jakarta Provincial Government at a key public transit node to prioritise integrated urban renewal and public transport connectivity and better inform the delivery of current and future projects. In due course, greater knowledge and experience in this TOD-POD master planning and implementation will deliver enhanced liveability and greater equity with respect to mobility and development in Jakarta.
This activity will further assist the provincial Government of Jakarta in better understanding the process and delivery of TOD-POD master planning and support its role as the ‘leader’ in future transit precinct development across the City. The objective of the activity is therefore two-fold:
- a) Demonstrate through a pilot project an orderly TOD-POD master planning process as a template for future initiatives, recognising the different approaches to precinct planning subject to location and context.
- b) Build capacity and improved governance within the City administration to support TOD-POD outcomes across the City.
