"Residents are actively involved in this program and they are given the authority to make decision regarding management and arrangement in their villages," he conveyed as it is written in his official Facebook account, Tuesday (10/30).

His side is committed to make various places in Jakarta, including main roads, as the 'third place' for residents to interact, gather, and greet each others, while enjoying arts, cultures, and sports.
