AKARTA: The city administration is planning to transform the hip residential area of Kemang, South Jakarta into a commercial area.
Wiriyatmoko, head of Jakarta's Spatial Planning Agency, said Tuesday that his office had carried out a study on transforming Kemang from a residential area to a commercial zone. The agency decided to let businesses in Kemang continue to operate.
"We plan to transform the area into a commercial zone," Wiriyatmoko said, as quoted by beritajakarta.com on Tuesday.
The agency will propose the plan to Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo.
Until now, companies operating in Kemang have been paying fines to the city administration for running their businesses in a residential area.
The area was a plantation in the 1950s. It became an expatriate enclave in the 1980s as cafes, bars and galleries began to flourish.
