A

major face-lift is currently under way at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) in Cikini, Central Jakarta, with the city looking to add more green space to the arts center.

The revitalization project, which kicked off on July 3 with a groundbreaking ceremony led by Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, cost the city administration Rp 1.8 trillion (US$126 million). It aims to revive TIM as the city’s premier cultural hub.

In a recent visit, The Jakarta Post noticed that at the north part of TIM, where a parking lot and cafeteria used to stand, had been demolished and blocked off with construction safety barriers.

 “The project is divided into two phases,” the director of Jakpro’s TIM revitalization project, Luky Ismayanti, said recently.

“The first phase includes the parking area, the mosque and the library. While the first phase will still be ongoing in January 2020, we will commence the second phase, which will include the rest of the buildings, including the Planetarium.”

The most significant change will be the addition of green space. Luky said 50 percent of the 9 hectares upon which TIM sat would comprise green space, a surge from the current 15 percent.
