Teases out some of the dimensions that have given shape to contemporary Jakarta, including the city’s expanded flexibility in accommodating capital and labour, and the consistent lack of planning that can be understood as a result of both politics and the poetics of governing in the region.
A study of the forces that shaped Jakarta into the city it is today.
