T

he Jakarta administration plans to rejuvenate slum areas across the city by, among other things, painting walls of the residents’ houses in bright and playful colors.

Governor Anies Baswedan said the Jakarta Governance Bureau was currently preparing plans to paint a number of slum areas in the city.

“We hope that the rejuvenation process can be carried out in many more areas before this year’s Idul Fitri festival,” Anies said in a slum area in Danau Sunter Jaya, North Jakarta, on Saturday morning.

The slum area in Danau Sunter Jaya is where the initiative began. The administration is collaborating with paint producer PT Dana Paint and the Jakarta Arts Institute (IKJ) to realize the colorful villages concept, as reported by tribunnews.com. (vny)
