Jakarta Deputy Governor, Rano Karno, proposed the creation of a grand design for the development of the Betawi Cultural Village Center area of ​​Setu Babakan, Srengseng, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, so that it functions more optimally.

"The Governor gave me an assignment. First, Kota Tua, then Pasar Baru, and Setu Babakan," he said, Thursday (1/8).

Based on the results of this visit, Rano stated that he had seen various problems and would follow up on discussions with several regional apparatus organizations (OPD) at Jakarta City Hall.

Rano assessed the function and role of the Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village must be optimized. In addition to serving as the base for the soon-to-be-established Betawi Traditional Institution, Rano also highlighted the need for the establishment of a dedicated educational institute dedicated to Jakarta.

"There must be an educational institution here . Not a university, but something like an institute about Jakarta," he added.

Rano also highlighted infrastructure issues that need to be addressed, including plans to build a public transportation system, a monorail, to Setu Babakan to alleviate congestion in the area.

"Even though the construction may be gradual, we must have a grand design," he stated.
