Abstract

This paper examines historical patterns of transport and land use development in Jakarta with a view to understanding the larger meaning of development in this context. The paper uses archival analysis and policy interviews to trace theories and practices of national and urban development from the late colonial period to the mid 1990s. Apparent continuities in the development of major roads, goods movement corridors and spaces of flows are investigated in relation to claims of fundamental policy and social change across this period. Additionally, shifts in the provision of public transport and pedestrian facilities are investigated in terms of wider processes of social contestation and resolution. The analysis highlights the connection between transport and land use policies and wider economic, political and social imaginaries. It also suggests that, despite the appearance of fundamental ideological change and social upheaval, there are continuities in development that suggest the maintenance of social relations within Jakarta.
