Urban Resilience: Navigating Challenges and Opportunities in Indonesia

This paper aims to examine the notion of urban resilience, multidisciplinary frameworks, and efforts to promote adaptive and sustainable urban systems. Urban resilience has emerged as an important framework to address the vulnerabilities and challenges encountered by rapidly growing urban centers in the context of environmental, social, and economic issues. The method used is a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The work steps taken in the approach are: identifying research gaps, data search and selection, data scanning and sorting, critical analysis and synthesis, and finally interpretation and conclusion drawing. The analysis shows that Jakarta City, as one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world, faces complex challenges that include environmental, social, and economic issues. Key challenges include the unreliability of the electricity system, unintegrated public transportation, increasing air pollution, flooding due to land subsidence and climate change, as well as the adverse impacts of rapid urbanization such as reduced green spaces. Through theoretical analysis and a case study of Jakarta City, the conclusions of this research illustrate important pathways for the integration of resilience principles into urban governance, planning, and policy-making. The paper concludes with pragmatic recommendations for enhancing urban resilience to develop cities that are not only sustainable but also able to adapt to future uncertainties. Keywords: urban resilience, urban issues, planning, sustainable development.
