Urban spatial planning: experience of Indonesia's urban infrastructure investment program (pdf 470kb)

This paper reviews the Integrated Urban Infrastructure Development Programme (IUIDP) in Indonesia.  The main activity of IUIDP was the creation of a multi-sector, multi-year infrastructure investment programme. Spatial planning was to be used to identify urban growth trends - including directions and phasing - and the location and scale of existing infrastructure deficiencies and medium term requirements.

The paper observes the experiences and outcomes of the IUIDP in Indonesia and provides insight into the processes used to integrate spatial planning into infrastructure investment.

It concludes that although the IUIDP yields a significant amount of detailed, practical thinking about the need for spatial planning to guide infrastructure investment, it has not yet adequately demonstrated the use in practice of the concepts and techniques it has devised.
