CALL for INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS YOUNG PLANNING PROFESSIONALS

Young Planning Professionals’ Workshop organised as part of the 55th ISOCARP WORLD PLANNING CONGRESS JAKARTA-BOGOR, INDONESIA, 4-8 September 2019

Planning Beyond Limits - Building Livable Communities

BACKGROUND

The Young Planning Professionals’ Programme is a crucial component of ISOCARP’s dedication to promote and enhance the planning profession and commitment to facilitate knowledge for better cities with the young generations, the future leaders of our profession. It was initiated in 1991 at the 26th ISOCARP Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since then, it has become tradition to organise the workshops in the week preceding the annual world congress in order to provide unique opportunities to Young Planning Professionals (YPPs) to share their experiences in an attempt to resolve complex and multi-dimensional planning problems. The Programme has facilitated a unique creative spirit within the Society, and it has become a source of new ideas, innovation and rejuvenation not only for the Society but also for our partners; and has made a huge impact on participants’ professional lives, in the name of the universal vision of promoting and enhancing the planning profession. It has also contributed towards making life-long friendships beyond borders, languages, cultures and professional backgrounds. According to this tradition, the YPP workshop will be offered again this year during the 55th ISOCARP World Planning Congress, which will take place in Jakarta-Bogor, Indonesia. The workshop itself will take place between 4 and 8 September, and the final presentation will be scheduled during one of the congress plenary sessions. The workshop will be organised in partnership with the Indonesian Association of Urban and Regional Planners (IAP), and in collaboration with the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Young Planners Group, Bandung Institute of Technology and Universitas Tarumanagara and Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP).

GENERAL INFORMATION ON YOUNG PLANNING PROFESSIONALS’ WORKSHOPS

OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP

Since 1991, the objective of ISOCARP’s Young Planning Professionals’ Workshops has been to bring together young professional urban planners from all parts of the world. The workshops aim to provide young professionals with an opportunity to work in a multi-cultural setting, share their experiences on real-life planning problems, and exchange ideas and learn from each other. At the same time, it is intended to engage them in planning exercise under the guidance of highly-qualified practitioners with extensive international experience. In terms of desired results, it is intended that the YPP workshop results become an important part of the 55th ISOCARP World Planning Congress, and the outcomes will be available both to congress delegates and all interested members of the Society (in the forms of public presentation, exhibition, publication and website dissemination). On the other hand, the workshop results will serve Jakarta and Indonesia in defining possible solutions of the given planning problem with fresh and innovative ideas. The workshop results may be of potential interest to other key stakeholders, including universities and other public and private infrastructure providers. In addition to the practical outcomes of the workshop exercise, its results may also contribute to the wider congress discussions, as the topic is strongly associated with the Congress theme ‘beyond the metropolis’.

NATURE OF THE WORKSHOP

The YPP Workshops are organised in the week preceding the annual ISOCARP Congress and focus specifically on the Congress’s main theme. The project site is chosen jointly by ISOCARP and the Local Organising Committee. Over a concentrated period of three to four days, the YPPs work in closely-knit international teams, exchanging ideas and learning from each other under the guidance of international experts among the members of ISOCARP accompanied by the local coordinator(s), lecturers as well as the Vice President responsible for the YPP programme throughout the process. The workshops are brief, but very intense, brainstorming planning and design exercises. They provide a synergetic platform where new ideas and creative solutions to complex and multifaceted urban issues are produced. YPPs are required to defend their ideas in front of a critical jury, the participants of the annual congress. The teams have to prepare a well-rehearsed presentation that frequently catches the special attention of the planning authorities. The tangible results are then presented at the main congress, are published in a Workshop Publication, both on the ISOCARP website and different digital mediums. The intangible ones, however, stay in the hearts and minds of the participant YPPs, who not only learn from each other, but also make life-long friends. We strongly recommend you read the past YPP workshop reports, which are available on the ISOCARP website. This will provide further guidance as to the calibre of results to be achieved.

VENUE: JAKARTA - BOGOR

The congress will be held At The Heart of The Equator! Where its 30 degrees all year round. Jakarta the host city is a core of Greater Jakarta of 28 million inhabitants. As a global city, Jakarta provides a mixture modern urban living and kampong community. Famous as the port city of Batavia in the early 1990s, Jakarta is now transforming with vibrant downtown, museums, world-class hotels and restaurants, and prestigious and historical universities such as University of Indonesia, University of Tarumanegara, and University of Trisakti. 5 of the 53 Indonesian planning schools are in Greater Jakarta. Bogor, on the other hand, is an integrated autonomous city that is located 40 km from Jakarta. Known as ‘rain city’, it is being transforming into an educational city, and dominated by new large-scale housing development. A high connectivity to Jakarta creates more than millions of people go for commuting lifestyle every day. Bogor is an interesting secondary city to be explored, especially in how the city is managing the rapid urbanization.

THEME OF THE WORKSHOP Planning Beyond Limits - Building Livable Communities

The agenda of the 55th ISOCARP World Planning Congress is ambitious. As stated by Martina Juvara, General Rapporteur, “with urbanisation continuing at pace and a globalizing economy, metropolitan areas are morphing into megacities: a different model of urban development, which is no longer the unexpected by-product of fast growing countries – a beacon to be followed for some, and for others simply dehumanizing”. Regarding this agenda, the congress focuses on investigating the future and the opportunities offered by these cities without limits, exploring their supposed inevitability but also on the possible alternatives for achieving global influence without the mega-scale - by exploring ‘planning beyond limits’. What is the global role of megacities and how scale is becoming power? Can cities without limits be planned, nurtured and grown as a way to promote a positive future for a country and for the planet? And what are the strategies, considered or maybe tried out, to promote livability, well-being, exemplary sustainability, innovation and responsive governance?

2019 Jakarta Young Planning Professionals’ Workshop contributes to this ambitious agenda with an ambitious programme on Planning Beyond Limits - Building Livable Communities, and uses Jakarta and Bogor as urban laboratories to explore the beyond of metropolises and limitless cities.

In 2015, 53.6% of Indonesia's 264 million total population lives in urban areas and is predicted to increase to 66.6% in 2035 with an annual population growth of 1.49%. Without policy intervention, the majority of Indonesia's population will live on Java Island with 90% of the population of Java will live in Jakarta and Bandung’s urban areas in 2045. The growth of cities in Indonesia is out of control in accordance with planning and could creating urban sprawl. In average, urbanization rate increases up to 4.1% per year in Indonesia's cities. Urban areas contribute as much as 75% to the effects of greenhouse gas emissions which have an impact on urban ecological damage such as sea level rise of 0.73 - 0.76 cm per year. Urban development is challenged to fulfilled the needs of the people to increase their capacity to compete globally while at the same time maintain sustainability of the cities. The process of urbanization will also have an impact on increasing the density of settlements which has resulted in increased demand for decent homes and basic services.

Jakarta, which is inhabited by 9.6 millions city dwellers, is a very strategic city. The capital city of Indonesia is the centre of government's administration as well as of business and industry. Studies show that 70% of capital in Indonesia is perpetuating in Jakarta - underlining its pivotal role as Indonesia's primate city. Almost 40% of Indonesian citizens, though, are dissatisfied with the living quality of the cities in which they live, according to the recently released 2017 Indonesia Most Livable City Index (MLCI) by the Indonesian Association of Urban and Regional Planners (IAP).

Within this contextualization, livability refers to an urban system that contributes to the physical, social and mental well being and personal development of all its inhabitants. It is about delightful and desirable urban spaces that offer and reflect cultural and sacred enrichment. Key principles that give substance to this theme are equity, dignity, accessibility, conviviality, participation and empowerment (Timmer and Seymoar, 2003).

In various parts of the world, many institutions have their own version of the livable city index to measure the livability of a city. In Indonesia, IAP has released the MLCI and was already used in 2009, 2011, 2014, and finally 2017, which produces an index of eligibility for cities in Indonesia based on perceptions of city residents. The resulting index is intended to provide input and feedback for stakeholders in Indonesia in the urban planning and development process. MLCI aims to identify early development critical factors in each city (identifying the Hot Spot) based on the perceptions and impressions of its citizens. The results of the 2017 MLCI survey show that the national average livability index is 62.3 out of 100. These results are divided into three categories, top tier cities, average tier cities and bottom tier cities. Jakarta and Bogor are included in the average tier cities, with consecutively total scores of 62.6 and 63.2. These two cities have scores that slightly above the national average.

The quality of city transportation is considered bad by residents because of the severity of the congestion and the poor quality of public transport services. They also consider that the quality of the city's waste and drainage networks are very poor. Citizens don’t feel safe from the threat of disasters such as floods, landslides and fires. The quality of pedestrian facilities is also considered to be unsatisfactory, because residents of the city consider the quality of pedestrian pathways to be poor and inaccessible to disabled people.

This workshop then is an attempt to question and explore spatial strategies for livable communities in two transit-oriented development (TOD) areas at the centres of Jakarta and Bogor, namely TOD Dukuh Atas and TOD Baranang Siang. Jakarta has recently has planned to develop TOD, which has been supported by the policy (See for instance, Governor’s Regulation of DKI Jakarta 44/2017 about Development of TOD Areas and Ministerial Regulation of Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / National Land Agency 16/2017 about Guidelines for the Development of Transit Oriented Areas). As quoted from The Jakarta Post in April 2018, “the Jakarta administration has expressed its intention to commence 13 TOD  projects that will integrate housing and public transportation along the route of the MRT’s first phase”. However, TOD is a new product/term in Indonesia and its development can be misinterpreted. So, things that are very basic such as integrated housing, commercial, facilities and public transport can have different interpretation or change along the way, even the tendency to fail is very high. IAP hopes to encourage the application of Livable Cities concept into the TOD Areas.

Within this framework, the Young Planning Professionals will be asked to investigate the future of these two locations in accordance to equity, dignity, accessibility, conviviality, participation and empowerment. It is hoped that the workshop can generate livable cities ideas or concepts (where TOD should be able to provide shelter and TOD area must certainly be livable). It takes young planners to create and innovate, because the majority of residents in urban areas, especially around the transit area, are millennials. It is expected that the results of the workshop can be an input before TOD is implemented in various locations in Jakarta and Bogor.

Case study area 1 - TOD Dukuh Atas, Central Jakarta

The Dukuh Atas TOD, located in Central Jakarta at Sudirman Road, is the first integrated transit area built by the DKI Jakarta Government. It is surrounded by office and retail area. This area is a well-known transit area with three major nodes including Sudirman Station (Greater Jakarta Train Network), TransJakarta’s Dukuh Atas 2 stop, and BNI City Station (Airport Train Network). In the future, this area will be equipped with various mass transportation such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), MRT, Light Rapid Transit (LRT), and a pedestrian / bicycle network as well. It is expected to be an interconnected area between diverse transportation modes and pedestrian friendly environment. New addition of Jakarta MRT will be soon running on March 2019, making this area is the perfect example for TOD development.

Case study area 2 – TOD Baranang Siang, Bogor

TOD Baranang Siang is located in East Bogor within Baranang Siang Terminal. The terminal was established in 1974 with a strategic location because it is close to the Jagorawi toll road. From its inception until 1990, Baranang Siang became the best terminal not only in West Java but in Indonesia. Unfortunately, it recently turned out to be a neglected area, whereas existing buildings are no longer feasible. The Baranang Siang Terminal is the gateway of the city of Bogor so that it must be revitalized to be neat and comfortable. Major of Bogor has issued a plan to create a TOD area which is centered on the terminal, but until now it is still an obstacle. One of the obstacles is people's refusal, for which a revitalizing change in the area is expected to have an impact on the social & economic conditions around it.

YOUNG PLANNING PROFESSIONALS’ AWARD: ROUTLEDGE POSTER PRIZE AND EXHIBITION

ISOCARP is very grateful to Routledge for this activity that gives extra flavour to the Congress. The ISOCARP Young Planning Professionals’ Award: Routledge Poster Prize was initiated in 1997 by past president Derek Lyddon and is part of an agreement with Routledge. The award is made possible by Routledge Publishers (UK) that gives an annual grant to ISOCARP. This grant of €500 is awarded to the best poster(s) in the Routledge Poster Exhibition during the annual ISOCARP Congress. This competition has stimulated great interest, especially among young members, and has produced many imaginative works.

All YPPs – whether accepted or not for Paper Presentation in the main Congress – are asked to bring along a Poster (in A1) related to the Congress Theme, proven that Full Paper is available. All Posters are exhibited at the main Congress Venue and evaluated by a YPP Routledge Award Committee. The Award is given to the Poster(s) that best present(s) the contents of the paper in a visual way. The technical content (the information, data, arguments and ideas presented in the poster, and its inherent interest, originality and potential for application) and communicative quality (use of the poster as a medium of communication – to attract interest and to effectively convey information and ideas) are the most important criteria in addition to graphic quality. In addition to the Jury’s Choice, Public’s Choice Award is presented by the public voting to the best poster by the young planning professionals (For examples of past years have a look at the ISOCARP website: Routledge Prize).

YOUNG PLANNING PROFESSIONALS AS CONGRESS TEAM MEMBERS

AFTER SELECTION

All YPP Candidates will receive the following by the ISOCARP Head Office: (i) the selection result by the General Rapporteur/Congress Team, and (ii) the selection result by the YPPs Vice President/ YPP Workshop Coordinators including an official invitation and an Agreement Protocol, in case of selection. Invited YPPs have to comply with an Agreement Protocol, which includes an official agreement issued by ISOCARP which stipulates the rights and responsibilities of each party (YPP and ISOCARP).

All invited YPPs having completed the Agreement Protocol have to Register to the congress and pay a reduced registration fee that gives entrance to both the Young Planning Professionals’ Programme as well as to the main Congress. Additional benefits for all Young Planning Professionals include entrance to the YPPs workshop and congress (lunches, dinners and accommodation included), free local public transport for the field trips, receipt of the congress portfolio (see registration Congress) and attendance to Congress Events including Congress Dinner and other social events such as Mobile workshops.

In order to create a strong international relationship, ISOCARP appreciates that all invited YPPs stay in the same hotel for the entire duration of the workshop and congress. In order to secure the team spirit, ISOCARP appreciates that during the workshop days, YPPs are not disturbed by the presence of their companions. Often the YPP work continues in the evenings. The initial room-sharing also applies during the entire length of the main congress. However, YPPs having brought along their partner are free to share their room with their partner after the YPP Workshop under the following conditions: (i) The YPP has to take care that the partner’s accommodation will be fully paid for in advance (ii) The partner also has to pay for any possible extra costs that the initial YPP workshop room-mate will have to face.

The Local Organising Committee has agreed to give all cooperation in facilitating Letters of Invitation and contacts with the Indonesian Embassies in those countries that require a visa entrance for Indonesia. The Invited Young Planning Professionals are requested to provide the ISOCARP Head Office with their full name, date of birth, passport number and date of issue. Visa applications cannot be taken into consideration without completion of the agreement and without payment of the registration fee and accommodation.
