Urbanisation in Indonesia’s cities has ledto many issues, including the following:• Inequalities between the rich and poor –many of the rural migrants who settlein Indonesia’s growing cities havetrouble finding secure employmentor housing. Indonesia is now thecountry with the sixth greatestwealth inequality in the world.• Strains on infrastructure – publictransportation, roads, water, sanitationand electricity networks are all under strain from the rapid influx of people to thecities. For example, the commute from Bekasi, a city less than 20 kilometres fromJakarta, takes around three hours. There are 5.4 million commuters travellingthroughout Jakarta each day.• Potential food insecurity – with young people leaving rural areas seeking better jobopportunities in the city, there are not enough workers on farms to plant andharvest crops. This may lead to lack of food security in the future, where thepopulation could suffer from reduced access to food and nutrition.Despite the challenges caused by urbanisation, it also has the potential to bringnew prosperity to a country.
