Shaping The Global South
In late September 2020, I was invited by the editor of Topos magazine, a professional magazine for landscape architectures, urban designers, & urban planners based in Germany, to write an article on planning megacities in the Global South for the upcoming issue of urban mutations. I accepted the invitation and wrote the article that has been published on the week of December 14, 2020. I am pleased to share the article here.

The Megacity of Jakarta: Problems, Challenges, and Planning Efforts
Saturday, March 29, 2014
In September 2013, I received an invitation from the Moscow Urban Forum to submit an article on Jakarta. The Moscow Urban Forum was an international event for experts, investors, and potential partners interested in the development of Moscow and held on December 5-7, 2013. One of the outcomes of the Moscow Urban Forum is the multidisciplinary research of the periphery of megacities. More than 10 megacities were parts of the research including Jakarta. The Moscow Urban Forum has released the report of the research titled "Archaeology of the Periphery" as can be found at this link. The report includes my article of Jakarta titled "Peripheral Pressures" on pp. 162-171. This post is the extension of that article and will be presented in the Spring 2014 Seminar Series in the Center for Southeast Asian Research (CSEAR) at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver, Canada on May 1, 2014.
