According to the Jakarta Post, the former president of Indonesia BJ Habibie came out yesterday suggesting that urban planning laws were not enough and that urban planning requires better implementation.
The Jakarta Post reported that Habibie said
“Don’t assume that having a legal system is enough. It’s not. The main thing is implementation,” he said.
“Humans are the ones who created problems and humans are the ones who have to be able to solve the problems and nobody else,” he said.
The Jakarta Post also went on to report that
Indonesia has law on spatial planning but implementation has been poor. The capital city of Jakarta for example has only around 9.6 percent of open green areas, which is far from what the regulated 30 percent.
