ABSTRACT

The overflow of river water is always unstoppable and becomes a high puddle in the city of Jakarta which will soon relinquish its status as the capital of the Republic of Indonesia. When talking about rivers, it is known that the formation of a city that has rivers and canals cannot be separated from urban planning in the Dutch Colonial era, even earlier in the era of Prince Jayakarta, the first ruler of the city of Batavia.  This study aims to find and retell the history of the heyday of rivers in Jakarta in their golden era which were beautiful, clean, livable and became the pride of the city at that time. This research use a qualitative method with storytelling and narrative lines, as well as descriptions. Data collection was obtained from literature sources focussing in the Ciliwung River, Jakarta. The conclusion was closed with a big question: can this beauty be repeated and make the river one of the socio-spatial media in the development of urban planning? What can stakeholders do so that the river becomes an icon of a sustainable urban environment and can be more useful for the community in improving their economy.

 

Keywords: Jakarta waterfront, Ciliwung, sustainable urban environment
