| description |
In recent years, Indonesia has made
great strides in economic growth and development. This
growth has been accompanied by rapid urbanization that has
transformed Indonesian cities. Urbanization has the
potential to boost national economic growth by facilitating
the emergence of agglomeration and localization economies.
Increasing urbanization presents Indonesia with an
opportunity to leverage the transformation taking place to
ensure that it is harnessed for economic growth and, more
importantly, sustained improvements in the quality of life
of its community members. Unfortunately, research shows that
over the last four decades, Indonesia has not derived
optimal returns on urban development, as can be seen by
comparisons with the level of benefit derived by other Asian
countries passing through similar processes of urbanization.
Urbanization in Indonesia is driving the emergence of
metropolitan areas whose boundaries stretch beyond the
jurisdiction of administratively defined cities, creating an
urgent need for mechanisms that optimize and coordinate
development beyond the formal city unit. The purpose of this
report on Indonesia's regional and urban development is
to provide a comprehensive assessment of the country's
spatial patterns of urbanization and economic development
and to evaluate the extent to which Indonesia's
urbanization has fostered increases in agglomeration
economies and economic productivity growth. The study
provides the analytical work to evaluate such performance
and to identify key issues, constraints and opportunities
for promoting faster and more inclusive growth. The
overarching goal of the study is to provide a timely and
rigorous analysis of regional and urban development in order
to foster informed policy discussion at the central,
provincial and local government levels. |
