Urban-Landscape Transformation along CBL Canal

Indonesia is projected to be the world 7th largest economy country by 2030. This could be achieved by maximising the utilization of natural resources as well as infrastructure develop¬ment. One example is the infrastructure development of Jakarta with its surrounding metro¬politan area (JABODETABEK). Here, we see a rapid development of logistics infrastructure and one of the key project is the utilization of Cikarang-Bekasi-Laut (CBL) canal as inland waterway. Due to its topographical condition and soil type, the surrounding area of CBL has high poten¬tial for agriculture. Moreover, mangrove forest located in the north coastal area protects land from abrasion as well as a home for biodiversity. Those potentials are also contributed by rivers crossing over this territory, including CBL Canal. The transformation of CBL canal from flood¬way system into an inland waterway that connects Jakarta Port and the Cikarang industrial area has a strong prospective to trigger urban sprawl from Jakarta and industrial investment along the canal. At the same time this development threatens the landscape diversity and the identity of today’s territory. This research aims to investigate the possible impact of the transformation of three related systems: urban, production and nature. Two concepts are applied as research method: The Two Networks by Sybrand Tjallingii and Urban Metabolism. The outcome of this research is a structure plan for the regional area of the CBL canal and design principles on the local scale that aim to find possible synergism between urban, production and nature developments.
