Keywords
Quality of life - a measure of people’s wellbeing, including access to housing, healthcare, education, income and services
Population density - the number of people living per square kilometre (km²)
Kampungs - informal settlements in Indonesian cities built by residents, often on derelict or unsafe land
Common misconception
Poorer people always live far away from the city centre, and richer people live near the centre.
Jakarta is more complex. In Jakarta, many wealthy areas stretch from north to south along the central axis, but some low-income areas are found right next to rich districts, even in the inner city. Kampungs can develop wherever there’s space.
