Sustainability
Just as we speak there is a building being built right will be the world's first super tall tower. It will stand 530m tall and is driven by sustainability. This building is intending to be a net-zero-energy building. The tower will host a lot of energy-saving and energy-generating systems. E.g. Wind turbines at its crown.

Waste Production
Jakarta’s waste management is very difficult. There are only two waste sites. The most major one Banta Gebang has to cope with the 6,000 to 6,500 tons of waste made by all of Jakarta. Banta Gebang is 100 hectors big, but this area is running out. The only other option is the Intermediate Treatment Facility in Cakung Cilincing. This facility uses Mechanical Biological Treatment Technology to use the organic waste to be fermented and used for electricity to power Jakarta. But this comes with a problem. This facility is only 7.5 hectors of land and only takes in 1,300 tons of garbage.

Recycling
Recycling in Jakarta is not very common but this is changing. The Indonesian government as realised a new law for all companies to use biodegradable packaging because of so much dumping and littering. Or another option is to still use the same packaging materials but encourage recycling on the package to return the packaging to the distributor to recycle and reuse the materials for other packaging.

Programs to Improve Urban Impact
Jakarta is slowly trying to improve their urban impact. They have been trying to recycle by making companies support recycling on their products. They are currently building a energy free campus for different companies and students. The one thing Jakarta really needs to improve is their water. It is heavily polluted and people are drinking it. But the government are helping this issue. They are moving a lot of the people who live in slums to new apartments with running water, gas and electricity. They are also trying to introduce more parks and green spaces around the city.

High Density Housing, Public Transportation & Bike Paths
In Jakarta architects and urban planners are trying to make Jakarta’s apartments more livable and spacious. Residents of Jakarta are dreaming about living on land in the outer skirts of Jakarta, but burglary, commuter nightmares and flooding.
Public transport in Jakarta is alright. The bus terminals are ruled out because they are quite a way out of the city center and your bus trip will be faster than getting to the terminal. Trains is one of the best ways of getting to the out skirts of Jakarta. They have great rail systems that will get you to the outer suburbs in no time. It is recommended that is you aren't travelling that far, just around the city center, grab a taxi. If riding a cycling is more your fancy Jakarta offers a lot of bike paths and tracks. Also Jakarta is improving their bike lane system as we speak.

Liveability
Liveability in Jakarta is alright we could say. Health wise depending on where you live, where you work and where you eat depends on your health quality in life. If you live in a not so great area with slums in sight you might be prone to a lot of diseases. This is the same with where you work. If you work in an area with slums or dirty gutters and houses you will be prone to diseases. If you dine or eat at street food stalls or restaurants out in the street and not in the CBD of Jakarta you will be prone to diseases. It is recommended to get immunisations before travelling or living in Jakarta, as listed in health issues. Transport in Jakarta is quite good. If you live near one of the major bus terminals use one of them, otherwise there is no point because if you are not close to these bus terminals it will take longer to get to the terminal than the bus trip itself. If you are trying to get to the CBD or to the outer suburbs of Jakarta, use the train system. It is not recommended to go by car as traffic in Jakarta is massive. Otherwise take a taxi, the taxi system in Jakarta is fine. Employment in Jakarta is good. Most factories are looking for workers. Jakarta manufactures a lot of automotive and chemical goods so there’s sure to be a job in that field.

Environment
The air quality in Jakarta is pretty ordinary it has a rating of 28.33% out of 100. This is not surprising, because it is a very major city and the water quality and air pollution wouldn't be that good. The water quality in Jakarta scores 19.05% out of 100. Jakarta’s water quality is very bad. When drinking water either boil it or drink bottled water. Over 110 million to the population of 240 million people in Indonesia lack toilets and sanitation. Unless you live in a well furnished apartment a toilet is not found very often. The quality of greens and parks scores 36.31% out of 100. Surprisingly Jakarta has quite a lot of parks in disused spaces across the CBD. Otherwise if you live in a more slum community green areas on parks are foreign because there is no space.
