INDONESIA

• Indonesia’s population was half urban and half rural back in 2010
• Urbanization process is now progressing rather quickly.

increase to 66.6% in 2035.
 IMPACT OF URBANIZATION IN
INDONESIA
1) Urbanization has led to economic growth for
Indonesia • Jakarta, Bandung,
Sumatera, Bali and many
more are expected to
experience GDP growth
of more than 7% by 2030
• Bogor, Kalimantan Utara
and many more
expected to experience
around 5-7% of GDP
growth by 2030
• Padang, Manado only
expected to experience
less than 5% GDP
growth by 2030
2.Urbanization has also led to the
improvement of infrastructure. 
• 245 projects and 2
programs planned for
Indonesia
• Projects mainly consists of
roads, dam, industrial
zones, trains, energy, port,
water resources and airport
• 2 nationwide programs
includes electricity and
airplane industry
3.Urbanization in Indonesia has helped in improving the quality of life
because services such as health and education have been improved.

• There is a steady
increase of life
expectancy of the
years
• Healthcare became
more accessible for
people in Rural area
due to BPJS
 PROBLEMS OF URBANIZATION
IN INDONSIA
1) Indonesia is gaining only 4% GDP growth for every 1% of urbanization, due to the
congestion, pollution, and disaster risks resulting from insufficient infrastructure
investment.

● 17th globally for air

pollution
● The average US
AQI figure for this
year was 141 with
levels of PM2.5
● most of Indonesia’s
air pollution comes
from forest fires
2) Indonesian cities are not spending well or enough on its
infrastructure.
3) High population density can put more pressure on existing
infrastructure and causes congestion

Urbanization Estimation in Indonesia

Based on the graph above, it is known

that Indonesia is the 4th most
populous country in the world. It is
estimated that by 2045 the total
population of Indonesia will reach
318 million people and around
67.1% of the population will live in
urban areas.
Lorenz Curve of Urban Population in Indonesia at
2018

The Lorenz curve of urban population in Indonesia forms a convex curve. This
shows that the urban population in Indonesia is heavily concentrated in certain
areas and it is known that the island of Java has the highest number.
Population growth in 2018, this
widening pattern of
urbanization also increases
the role of the periphery as a
place for population
concentration and urban
activities to take place.
Development of Cities in Java Region at 2000 and 2015

There are at least two main characteristics

that make it different:

01 Traditionally
Java Island is an island that has the
highest number and density of cities
among other regions in Indonesia,
although currently Java can no longer
be seen as an area that has a large
number of cities

02 Large Area
the size of 1 of the city in Java is
much larger than the size of the
city in other areas.
CONCLUSION
Urbanization will increase the
income of migrants, but this
will only happen to migrants
who really have the skills to
be successful in living in the
city.
Urbanization has negative impacts
that can indirectly affect the
destination city, namely emergence
of slum areas. In addition, the impact
that affects the abandoned area is
villages will lack a productive
workforce
 1. The intensity of the concentration of
urban growth in Java encourages
Indonesia's need to be able to build and
produce equal distribution of urban
Recommendations to development to other areas
Minimize Urbanization in2. The large role of political factors and
government administration in urban
Indonesia growth shows that there is a need to
increase and develop the attention of
the government
