Congestion on Jl. Gatot Subroto and inner-city toll roads in Jakarta is seen on Thursday (19/9/2019). The Jakarta administration does not yet have a plan to conduct a comprehensive evaluation on road sections for its even-odd policy. The evaluation only focuses on roads affected by the vehicle restriction rule. In fact, a thorough evaluation is considered necessary to see the effectiveness of the policy in reducing the number of vehicles on roads and reducing vehicle emissions.

Indonesia\'s urban population will continue to grow. This urbanization is an opportunity to improve the welfare of all Indonesians, if managed properly. Urbanization almost occurs in all developed countries and they can benefit from it because they can well manage the growing population of the city.

The latest World Bank report, "Time to ACT! Realizing Indonesia’s Urban Potential”, launched on Thursday estimates that in 2045, 100 years after Indonesia\'s independence, 70 percent of the population or 220 million people will live in cities.
