JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration plans to build two additional rusunawa (low-cost rental apartment complexes) and revitalise an existing one in the coming years to address the capital’s housing backlog, with experts stressing that the projects must be easily accessible and located near economic hubs to attract tenants.
The initiative was announced by Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung last week during the launch of Rusunawa Jagakarsa in South Jakarta, targeting low-income residents earning between Rp 2.6 million (US$157) to Rp 7.4 million per month.
