Urbanization, human capital, and regional development: the indonesian experiences
Urbanization offers a wide-range of opportunities bur on the other hand, it raises potential risks. The key challenge is not to control the pace of urbanization because urbanization cannot be stopped, but rather to manage urbanization properly with adequate urban planning. If managed properly, urbanization offers many benefits. When evaluating the urban development policies, portfolio of assets of urban residents includes labor, human capital, housing, household relations, and social capital conditions need to be taken into account (Moser, 1998). Human capital, referring to the skills possessed by an individual for instance, is the main element in creating a more resilient community.
Research on the impact of urbanization to environment in Indonesian cities only receive little attention compared to economic, political, and security issues. Little is known about urbanization and even less is known about how to design policies and strategies to manage them. Managing the urbanization process and its consequences has not, to date, gained a central position in national policy debate. This book contributes to the Indonesian government's current urban and regional development issues. There are also practical policy recommendations that will come from this book.
