Abstract

Jakarta is rapidly becoming as one of the world’s megacities and this has been boosted by its impressive economic growth over past decades. The city has transformed over the past thirty years into one of the modern financial and services hubs in Southeast Asia. With a population of more than ten million, it is now a thriving centre of entrepreneurship. However, the city is striving to find a balance between growth and sustainable development. Like all other megacities, Jakarta faces serious development challenges, such as a population explosion, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource shortages, urban poverty and cultural conflicts. This study focuses on the complex challenge of alleviating worsening traffic congestion in Jakarta. It looks at how various fragmented policies and strategies have failed to solve this problem because of poor planning, lack of community participation, poor urban transport management and unbalanced regional development. In particular, it addresses the key failure to develop a sustainable urban transport system that considers the social, economic, environmental and cultural elements of the city. The essential message of the study is that to control traffic congestion successfully, reforms in the urban transport system should be complemented with more community engagement in planning, governance and monitoring. Social sciences can contribute to the understanding of the problems and reinforce the necessity for wide-ranging social and behavioural reforms in urban society

Abstract

Connectivity is one of the key factors that are important to accelerate economic integration betweenASEAN and India. Improved connectivity is critical to increase ASEAN–India economic relationsand to strengthen ASEAN–India’s share in regional and global production networks. To buildand strengthen this connectivity, several strategic measures are needed. First, there is a need for a clearregional connectivity framework, a multi-modal, multi-functional and multi-tier approach, whichincludes land, maritime and air connectivity. Second, there is a need to establish strong regional institutionsfor cooperation in terms of planning, managing and funding the infrastructure needs. Third,ASEAN and India need to address wide infrastructure variations within their member countries andstates. Specifically, significant resources and time must be dedicated to build and strengthen infrastructurein Myanmar and the northeastern region of India, given their strategic location as the connectingnodes of ASEAN–India connectivity. For infrastructure development, there must be a clear strategyto encourage more private sector participation. Public–private partnership seems not only promisingbut also challenging given the complexity and cost of infrastructure investment. A fair distribution ofrisk remains a big constraint to the promotion of public–private partnerships. Fourth, ASEAN–Indiaconnectivity should be integrated with regional development plans and linked to the internationalproduction network. And finally, there is a need for strong political commitment to execute most of thepolicies and strategies that have been agreed to by the ASEAN countries and India.Keywords: Connectivity, Transport, Regional integration, ASEAN, India
