Seminar Strategies for a Sustainable Greater Jabotabek Jakarta, July 8-10, 1996 (Proceedings)

Jabotabek is expanding rapidly, and, if satisfatory service levels are to be achieved, the investment needs for public infrastructure are in billion of dollars. Public financing alone will not be possible for all identified investments, and funding alone will not solve all problems. Choices have to be made in terms of sectoral composition, timing, and size of project; also, improved administration and coordination in metropolitan area will be required for better services, long-term area planning, and environmental sustainability. Increased private sector and community participation will be required.
