Seminar on

SUSTAINABLE HOUSING,
BUILDINGS AND CITIES

Ministry of Housing and Settlement (PKP), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), The Building Center of Japan (BCJ) and Japan International Association for the Industry of Urban Development, Building and Housing (JUBH) are co-organising a seminar on “Sustainable Housing, Buildings and Cities” in Indonesia on January 14 and 15, 2025, with support from the Embassy of Japan in Indonesia, JICA Indonesia Office, JETRO Jakarta Office, Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), and The Jakarta Japan Club.

While cities are an engine of economic growth, they also emit two-thirds of the world's greenhouse gases and half of the world's general waste, making the role of cities in achieving a sustainable society even greater. In Indonesia, rapid urbanisation has led to various urban problems, most notably a serious housing shortage, so housing issues remain one of the main challenges for the Prabowo administration. In addition, Indonesian cities frequently experience natural disasters such as floods, and strengthening urban resilience in response to climate change issues is also an important challenge. In addition, housing, building and urban policies to address global environmental challenges, are becoming increasingly important. Furthermore, the construction of a new capital city has increased the need for sustainable urban development.

In light of these circumstances surrounding housing, building and urban policies in Indonesia, this seminar provides an opportunity to learn more about Indonesia’s future cities, as well as international experiences in developing sustainable, inclusive and smart cities by discussing a wide range of policies for promoting sustainable urban development in the public and private sectors.

The event includes keynote speeches from Yoshiki Takeuchi, Deputy Secretary-General, OECD, Representative from Ministry of Housing and Settlements, Masao Omori, Mayor of Okayama city, Japan and OECD Champion Mayor, Itsuhiro Miura, Deputy Director General, City, Housing, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Representative from Jakarta Local Government, as well as panel discussions on “Net zero and housing affordability”, “Urban growth and environment” and “Digital technology and smart cities”.

In addition, Business Seminar and Poster Session will be held in conjunction to provide an opportunity for major Japanese companies in related to housing and urban development to share their knowledge, technologies, products, and services to make Indonesia a more sustainable and livable city, and to showcase the potential contributions of the private sector.

The seminar is designed for policy makers, businesses, researchers and other stakeholders engaging in housing, buildings, urban development and cities. We look forward to your participation.
