T
he Jakarta administration plans to build two more towers at the Rawa Bebek low-cost apartment complex (rusunawa) in Cakung, East Jakarta, to accommodate more people, including evictees.
Jakarta Housing Agency head Arifin said Thursday that two 16-floor towers, each with a capacity of 255 apartments, would be built this year as a part of a plan to increase the residential capacity of the capital.
"We want to maximize our capacity to accommodate people. We will build 24 more towers [in various rusunawa] including in Rawa Bebek," he said as quoted by beritajakarta.com
Currently, Rawa Bebek has six towers with the total 750 apartments, with the construction of four other towers with 400 apartments just finished. Arifin added that the additional towers would have elevators and construction was expected to be finished by the end of 2017. (vny/idb)
