Green Area for Healthy Jakarta

As a metropolitan city, Jakarta have it's problem with air polution. It is because of a high number of car, motorcycle, factory, that all are throw their emition of CO or CO2 into the air. This caused a decreasing of air quality in Jakarta. One of the cause is a decreasing amount of city forest in Jakarta.

An ideal city must have a capability to support many city demand. An infrastructur like building, highway, rail way, canal, phone line, etc. So, to support and sustain air quality. For this purpose, an ideal city forest is a must.

Actually, Jakarta have many an open green area (Ruang Terbuka Hijau) like Monumen Nasional, Taman Suropati, Senayan, but many of them is not really green. I thin only monas and Taman Suropati stil have an ideal place for green area. Senayan is change to many other purpose. Senayan city and plasa Senayan is built at senayan sport area, that should have many tress to suply more fresh air.

City goverment of Jakarta have a masterplan of green area. THis area is prohibited fro other purpose. But, in few year many of this area is change into other purpose like for oil station, building, office etc. Number of trees is decrease for year and year.

But, we have to have more patience. Jakarta is boost it's development many building and infrastructure but still forget to develop an healthy nature. We hope, the next leader will see this problem and do something to solve it.

Mate,
beside vehicles , buildings contribute to worse air in this city as well. That I mean is when buildings that developed without good plan in using electricity power, thus greater power of elect. used more fuel burned for elect. generator

So, today we can see some of new buildings built based on "green building concept" . This buildings let sun ray comes into the room as much as possible , that finally will reduce using light at day .

@ raf, yes, i thinks that idea is a future concept. though the effect sometime is bigger than caused by vehicle, and the effect is a secunder effect.

its is true, to reduce air polution we have to make a macro planning in all sector. but, in this post i will see, the imprtantance of nature ability to support a bad polution. so, a nature development is one choice.
