The Effects of Mega-Transportation Infrastructure Projects in the Jakarta-Bandung Corridor, Indonesia: Unraveling Displacement in Space and Time

Abstract

During the Jokowi administration (2014-present), Indonesia has embarked on an unprecedented number of megaprojects compared to previous presidents. In 2015, President Jokowi unveiled his plans to liberalize foreign investment regulations and foster the development of modern and expansive transportation infrastructure networks through the implementation of mega-transportation infrastructure projects (MTIPs). The reason for these stems from the recognition that inadequate asset management and under-investment have led to a substantial deficit in transportation infrastructure, which hampers the country’s economic growth.
