  • The city of South Tangerang is beginning a 23-hectare urban renewal project in the Keranggan sub-district.
  • The project includes developing basic infrastructure like roads, drainage, and lighting to improve living conditions.
  • The initiative aims to transform the area, currently an undeveloped rural-urban zone, into a more organized and habitable settlement by December 2026.

The South Tangerang city government has initiated a significant urban renewal project in the Keranggan sub-district, aiming to enhance the quality of life for residents. The 23-hectare area, classified as a Rural Urban Undeveloped Area, is set for a comprehensive transformation through the development of essential infrastructure.

Deputy Mayor Pilar Saga Ichsan personally inspected the site, emphasizing the project's adherence to planned execution. The initiative focuses on upgrading the environment and housing conditions in a zone characterized by open land and undeveloped areas. Ichsan stated, "This urban village area needs infrastructure development. With this arrangement, we hope the quality of the environment and community housing will be better, neater, and more organized."

The project's scope includes paving neighborhood roads with decorative blocks, constructing approximately 4 kilometers of U-Ditch drainage systems, installing retaining walls, building safety fences in vulnerable spots, erecting entrance gates, and installing solar-powered public street lighting. These improvements will benefit five neighborhood groups (RW) and 12 community units (RT) within Keranggan.

While the main access road was asphalted in a previous year, this phase concentrates on internal neighborhood streets. Old paving blocks will be replaced with new, three-dimensional patterned ones to create a more attractive and orderly appearance. The entire project is scheduled for completion by December 2026, marking a substantial upgrade for the Keranggan community.
