About this event
In this event, the role of the young generation in Indonesia’s urban development will be raised. Many studies show that the young generation does not only represent the future of a country, but also they are one of the society's main agents of change and progress. Indonesia has 65 million young people aged 10 to 24 and it comprises 28% of the total population. At the moment, Indonesia has a demographic bonus which means the country has more young generation than the older generation. The World Economic Forum in 2019 noted that Indonesia’s young generation has the most spirit in creating innovations and their own businesses among other countries in Southeast Asia.
Inspired by this, in Session 1 IDN Liveable Cities would like to take this opportunity to share two youth-related initiatives that happened in Indonesia and were done by Indonesian young generations. There are two initiatives are going to be presented: Asia Water Challenge and Transisi Project Initiative: Supporting Electrification of Buses in Jakarta.
Session 2, will focus on presentations by two young Dutch professionals, a landscape architect and an architect, who graduated on topics located in Indonesia for their Master thesis. As the creative industry in The Netherlands is one of the so-called top sectors, it is interesting to learn if the design approach differs from the Indonesian one. Through this event we hope to contribute to bilateral relations between Indonesia and the Netherlands and to inspire each other while striving for liveable and sustainable cities.
For this event, we are going to start with networking dinner. The organizer will provide dinner for participants, therefore we require a paid ticket for participants who are interested to join the event.
