 and haven't you seen as well the pictures of skylines with the backdrop of densely populated areas as well... that's where the majority of Jakarta people live in...I tried to be objective by showing as many sides there is to Jakarta... (high-end shopping mall, traditional market scene, daily traffic jam, public places, fast-emerging skyline, very nice business district, etc.) I'm sure many other cities in the developing world is like this also, including Manila, Bangkok, Mumbai, Delhi, Dhaka, and the list goes on... note (an objective view of Jakarta by myself as a Jakarta resident): JAKARTA IS NOT ALL ABOUT SHIT, AND JAKARTA IS NOT ALL GLAMOROUS - IT'S EVERYTHING PACKED INTO A CITY OF 12 MILLION PEOPLE Jakarta is just like any other megapolitan in the developing world, you can see signs of wealth and poverty side by side... anything special about that? some live in very nice luxurious housing complex, normal residential areas, some in nice residential highrises, some in very bad conditions slums right by the riverside, but the majority live in densely populated kampungs...

Pedestrian <> Sidewalk
Quote:
 In English, pedestrian means "a person travelling on foot, whether walking or running" here's the wiki on the word "Pedestrian" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian. So from now on, let's use the correct word which is "sidewalk" or "pavement" and stop being salah kaprah. That said, here's my contribution...  image hosted on flickr  Sudirman image hosted on flickr  The Long and Winding Road, Sudirman image hosted on flickr  Rush hour traffic, Sudirman image hosted on flickr  Flying bus stop, Mampang

 As other Indo forumers has answered, some of Jakartans live in those shiny buildings, and some live in kampung or maybe slum areas. That's just a normal condition in all cities..

many Jakarta peoples are life not in Jakarta... they usually live in a neighbour cities of Jakarta... exp : Tanggerang, Bekasi, Bogor, Depok etc. i as a people who life in Tanggerang, i usually see the traffic jam in weekdays morning caused of many Tanggerang peoples work in Jakarta. and about the slums... they are just some peoples from small villages around Indonesia... they're coming to Jakarta just to search a better jobs in Jakarta... but they don't have enough money to buy a better residence... and they make a small (illegal) house to life... -just my opinion-

 Jakarta has to suffer from the centralisation policy that was created long ago by the central government. economic activity is centered in Jakarta so that everyone from all around Indonesia is rushing to come for employment opportunities... and of course housing development in the neighbouring areas of Jakarta is also expanding rapidly too... which part of Tangerang you live in oweeyman?Quote:
