Jakarta Old Town

Jakarta Old Town (Kota Tua Jakarta), also known as Old Jakarta, and Old Batavia (Oud Batavia), is a small area in Jakarta, Indonesia. This special region spans over 130 ha of both North Jakarta and West Jakarta.

Dubbed "the jewel of asia" back in the 16th century by European sailors, Old Jakarta — or Batavia, as it was named then — was once considered a center of commerce for the whole continent due to its strategic location, fertile resources, and rich culture.

In 1972, the Governor of Jakarta Ali Sadikin issued a decree that officially made the Jakarta Kota area into a heritage site. The governor's decision was necessary in order to preserve the city's architectural roots — or at least what was left of it.

Despite the Governor's Decree, the vicinity remains neglected, as though the majority was pleased just by the issuing of the decree. Not enough was being done to protect and conserve the legacy from the Dutch colonial era.

Now, many remaining historical buildings and architecture are steadily deteriorating; at best, "dilapidated".

However, there is still much hope in restoring the area, especially with various non-profit organizations, private institutions, and even the government recently stepping up to the plate to rejuvenate Old Jakarta's legacy.

    Ali sadikin juga pernah menjabat sebagai ketua yayasan di sebuah yayasan di daerah cibubur. namanya YPKP ( Yayasan Pondok Karya Pembangunan ). bagus juga sih sekolahannya. luasnya kalau tidak salah 18 hektar. didalamnya ada kolam pemancingan juga lho.
