seizing the potential cooperation among stakeholders in the area of
Information Technology, including the smart city.
Digital transformation has been and always will be an essential structure in
modern times, especially during this unprecedented time. For instance, since
the first outbreak of Covid-19 in the world, almost every sector intensified
digitalization to keep the communication and coordination line running. The
same applies to Jakarta.
Jakarta Provincial Government has made numbers of efforts of digitalisation to
keep the public services running while adapting with current demand and
situation. The digital approach we used is based on seven smart city
indicators; namely: smart governance, smart people, smart mobility, smart
living, smart environment, smart economy, and smart branding.
As Indonesia’s capital city, Jakarta is home to more than ten million people,
with diverse background and multifaceted issues that demand dynamic yet
excellent public services. This demand is transcribed in the vision and mission
of Jakarta Provincial Government to build a new face of urban infrastructure
provision in supporting better public services in the era of City 4.0.
Jakarta Provincial Government has aiming to improve active participation and
engagement of the city’s co-creator to build a better place, in line with the
notion of City 4.0. We changed the gear and turning this city into a more
collaborative space for our citizens, communities, organisations, businesses,
media, and so on. We keep working to make sure that our city grows together
with our people.
