Indonesia Chemicals 2013 IHS CW Release
Landing in Jakarta, one is immediately struck by the dissymmetry of the city. Roads snake together, connecting an amalgam of both derelict and renovated colonial structures that are pitted against the high-rise urban developments and significantly poorer kampongs, or red-brick, red-roof shacks which sprawl across metropolitan Jakarta. These structures have arisen out of the cracks of old Batavia, as Jakarta was known to the Dutch; the legacies of Sokarno, who laid the foundation for the Western-style democracy in place today; and Suharto who ruled the country for over 30 years as dictator. Emerging in the midst of this, the central business district of the city has grown out of a struggle between these forces, and so has the present structure of Indonesia’s economy.
