JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan issued a new regulation granting permits to Jakarta residents to build houses up to 4 floors.
This is stated in Governor Regulation Number 31 of 2022 concerning Detailed Spatial Planning Plans for the Regional Planning of the Special Capital City Region of Jakarta.
"Our residents' houses are only allowed 1 floor, 2 floors. Now, residential houses will be allowed up to 4 floors in our households in Jakarta," Anies said in the socialization of Gubernatorial Regulation Number 31 of 2022 at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, September 21.
In the old rule, namely Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2014, residential houses are prohibited more than 3 floors. This is because more than three floors are only allowed at shop houses, guesthouses, and the like.
Seeing the development of the city of Jakarta so far, Anies said that the limit on the number of floors in residential houses in the old regulations limits the use of land in Jakarta, which has a high price.
Therefore, in the new rules, Anies said that allowing houses to live up to 4 floors is expected to encourage land optimization.
"This will have a sizeable impact. So, later Jakarta will not be flat, but the city can increase its population higher, it has a higher land value," said Anies.
In addition, this also encourages the use of housing with a multi-family ownership pattern in the same building. Where, one residential house can be used by more than one family.
"Many of these families have experienced, one family, two three children, 100 meters of land. His son grew up, his son moved out, in the end his parents moved out, the land was sold. Now he can add (house floor) up. He can both live with his family. His grandparents are downstairs, his two children are on the 2nd floor, the 3rd floor of the room together," he explained.
However, Anies said the construction of a 4-story residential house could not be arbitrary. "There are conditions. Later there will be provisions on space, green houses, infiltration wells, so as not to damage the environment," Anies added.
