JAKARTA - DKI Governor Anies Baswedan complained that the majority of Jakarta residents can now access parks with a distance of 800 meters from their respective homes.

This was conveyed by Anies in the inauguration of 100 Maju Bersama Parks (TMB) in Taman Maju Bersama Delonix, Kel. Pekayon, Kec. Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta.

"Currently in Jakarta 90 percent of Jakarta residents can access the park within 800 meters of their house. So, anywhere we look in Jakarta, 90 percent of them can get a park within 800 meters," said Anies, Wednesday, October 12.

Meanwhile, in another 9 percent of the area, Anies said that the TMB development land already exists. However, it still takes time to work on it.

During this inauguration, Anies explained that TMB was designed as a place for residents to interact or a third room.

"This is a common space for the community, for example public transportation, sidewalks, and parks, it is the third space where residents interact and carry out activities together. The third room principle is a space that provides a sense of equality, togetherness, and space that allows residents to have positive interactions," said Anies.

Anies said the TMB was carried out in a pattern that had been adjusted to the needs of the local community. This need comes from the aspirations of the people included in the design process.

Anies also advised those who manage TMB, so that residents, especially children, can take advantage of facilities and play according to their age.

"Therefore, marked by the absence of a ban on grass, grass to play. So this is the concept for a joint forward park that Alhamdulillah, the City Parks and Forest Service Team has succeeded in exceeding the target which was originally targeted for 86 jointly advanced parks, Alhamdulillah, which was achieved by 100 Advanced Parks. Together," he explained.

For the record, 100 TMBs that have been built in Jakarta are spread across North Jakarta with 17 TMB, West Jakarta 17 TMB, South Jakarta: 28 TMB, and East Jakarta 38 TMB.
