By increasing green open space area, he wants to show that Jakarta Government remains committed to meet the green open space target percentage in accordance with the mandate of Law No. 26/2007 concerning Spatial Planning.

One of its efforts is to allocate budget to City Park and Forest Agency for land acquisition in the context to provide green open space and Water Resources (SDA) Agency for land acquisition to provide blue open space. Land acquisition mechanism to increase green and blue open spaces is following the provisions in Law No. 2/2012 concerning Land Acquisition for Public Interest Development.

With limited space available for green open space, Jakarta Government is committed to innovate in green space index implementation by emphasizing the quality of green open spaces functionally, as well as implementing Green Building Area such as roof garden, balcony garden, green walls, and others.

"Regarding target to provide blue open space, it is based on Perda No. 1/2012 concerning RTRW 2030 which is 5% of Jakarta regions, including channels, rivers, flood canals, lakes, and reservoirs," he closed.
