Land from ATR Ministry to be Used for Housing and Satellite Cities

Indonesia's Minister of Public Housing and Human Settlements, Maruarar Sirait, revealed that land provided by the Ministry of Agraria and Tata Ruang/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) will be utilized for constructing public housing and satellite cities. This announcement, made in Jakarta, is part of the National Strategic Program.

Sirait, also known as Ara, stated that building public housing and satellite cities is a priority, supported by President Prabowo and Housing Task Force Chief Hashim Djojohadikusumo. His ministry is currently assessing land in 188 locations designated by the ATR ministry. The ATR/BPN, led by Nusron Wahid, has identified a total of 129,764 hectares, with approximately 37,709 hectares considered potentially suitable for current use.

The government prioritizes vertical housing development, particularly for low-income communities in urban areas. Larger land parcels are allocated for the development of satellite cities. Minister Maruarar emphasized that land availability is crucial for the success of the National Strategic Program, stating, "We have a simple concept to implement the 3 Million Houses Program. We want the land for building these houses to be available."
