Problem Statement
High population growth rate in the city and kabupaten leads to
congested roadways, heavy water and air pollution, flooding and
high volumes of solid waste, deforestation, urban sprawl without
adequate infrastructure planning
Lack of integration of information management systems leads to
problems with development planning and monitoring and overall
communication within and between local government departments.
There is a need to plan new developments to ease pressure on
overcrowded areas, and address problems from persistent flooding.

Project Description Workplan Objectives

Develop a vision for the new town that takes into consideration
the geographical constraints including flooding and cultural needs
of the community.
Identify the critical resources necessary for the new town
development and MIS (management information system)
Provide materials and training on strategic planning to Kabupaten
staff, who will then provide the whole Kabupaten new town team
with a common understanding of the concepts.
Developing a strategic plan for the new town that incorporates
information technology components for the defined scope of the
technology pilot.

Key Steps New Town Planning

Lessons Learned
The multi-stakeholder planning process introduced by Santa
Clarita and adopted by Bandung will help the local government to
conceptualize, plan, and make informed decisions and policies in
the future.
By introducing a culture of participation, the local government will
engender the trust of their citizens.
Once the LAN and GIS systems are in place, Bandung will have
an integrated system for monitoring land use, which will assist
them with project development.

Sustainability
Support from top leadership in the local government, critical
stakeholders, and from the community will be critical to the
future success of the new town planning initiative
Kabupaten Bandung must allocate resources to both projects
for them to be successful
The new town planning team must be empowered to make
decisions and allocate resources
Innovative funding sources (including public/private funding
partnerships) will be essential for the new town

Transfer
More inclusive planning and decision-making is something that
could benefit all local governments in Indonesia by helping
them to make more informed decisions and policies, and to
create a sense of trust within the local community.
