Population growth threatens Jakarta’s resilience as it exacerbates the effects of climate change and impacts the social, environmental, and technological systems in the urban network. This report investigates the problems Jakarta faces due to population growth, potential solution strategies, and ethical considerations. Solution strategies span the mobility, housing, natural resources, and economic spaces. Political and religious aspects of ethical considerations are explored as well as a proposed framework for monitoring the efficacy of solution strategies. Finally, recommendations for further reading and discussion questions are provided.
