City Transformation through Planning and Increasing Productivity: Creating Livable Cities
Creating a livable city is a goal that every society desires. One important indicator in achieving this goal is through careful planning and increasing productivity.
Planning begins with regional planning and city spatial planning. This includes setting building layouts, special zones, and land use in accordance with the needs and potential of the area. Regional planning and urban planning are the basis for directed and coordinated development.
Apart from that, the use of REGSOSEK is the basis for planning activity programs. Collaboration and synergy between programs and stakeholders are also the key to careful planning. Collaboration between governments, non-governmental organizations and society is important to create holistic and sustainable policies.
From the aspect of increasing productivity, several efforts need to be made. First, expanding employment opportunities, both formal and informal, by creating a climate that supports investment and small and medium businesses. By creating a conducive climate, it is hoped that it can attract investors and open up new job opportunities for the community.
Second, increasing added value and productivity in leading sectors is also important. This can be done through technology development, improving product quality, and product diversification.
Third, market intermediaries and partnerships need to be strengthened to open up access for business actors to offtakers, e-commerce, capital and technical training. By strengthening relationships between business actors and markets, it is hoped that they can increase production capacity and product marketing.
Fourth, providing access to general education, vocational training and training according to industry and job market needs is also key to increasing productivity. By improving workforce qualifications, it is hoped that it can increase industrial competitiveness and productivity.
Fifth, it is necessary to provide service and information centers for job opportunities as well as training/entrepreneurship programs for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and other vulnerable groups. This aims to provide equal opportunities for all levels of society to increase productivity and welfare.
Careful planning and increasing productivity are important steps in creating livable cities. Through careful planning, we can identify existing problems and formulate appropriate activity programs.
Meanwhile, increasing productivity can increase competitiveness and community welfare. Therefore, collaboration between stakeholders and the implementation of appropriate programs need to be carried out to achieve the goal of creating a livable and sustainable city.
