Description

Explore the urban evolution of one of Southeast Asia's most significant cities with Planning the Megacity: Jakarta in the Twentieth Century. Published by Routledge as part of the Planning, History and Environment Series, this book offers a detailed look at how Jakarta transformed from a colonial capital of 150,000 people in 1900 into a massive megacity of 12 to 13 million inhabitants by the year 2000. Author Christopher Silver examines the forces that shaped urban development. This work goes beyond formal planning actions to look at how political, economic, social, and cultural factors influenced the city's growth. By placing Jakarta's history within local, national, and international contexts, the book provides a deep understanding of the processes that drive large-scale urban change. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of Southeast Asian cities and the complexities of managing rapid urban expansion.
