Summary:

Jakarta Megalopolis focuses on two projects in the title city by artist and architect Stani Michiels and artist Arjan van Helmond. Each grapples with Jakartas̕ housing culture, the experience of private as opposed to public space and the consequences of city migration, as well as the citys̕ infrastructure, increasing density, and its coherence--or lack thereof--as a whole. The essays by Charles Esche, Abidin Kusno, Gerardo Mosquera and Agung Jenong provide the book with a theoretical framework.
