"This year, we will build 60 RPTRAs, and next year, the number will be increased up to 150. We will speed up their development," he said.
Until the end of this year, Jakarta will have 60 RPTRAs spread across five mayoralties, and four of them have been inaugurated, while the rest are still under development, he noted.
"Right now, we are focusing on developing RPTRAs in 56 locations across Jakarta. Our target is to complete the development of all the RPTRAs in November or December this year," he remarked.
Regarding the development plan for 150 RPTRAs next year, the governor said he had instructed all personnel in the city administration to make the necessary preparations for the procurement of land this year.
"So, payment could be done next year, and the project could be immediately carried out," he remarked, adding that the cost for developing one RPTRA is around Rp700 million.
The governor clarified that no regional budget would be used for the development project as funds for it would come from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.
"With the CSR, we will know the price per RPTRA. If the project is financed with the budget, the price could reach Rp3-5 billion," he pointed out.
Companies that contribute to the development project are allowed to place advertisements in the parks.(*)
