ABSTRACT Urbanization in Indonesia has accelerated over the last decade and, for a number of economic and social reasons, is not expected to slow down before the end of the century. Despite good progress in the provi- sion of urban services over the last decade, there remain huge service deficiencies even for the existing population, let alone for the 40 million new urban dwellers who will arrive in the 1980s and 1990s. However, at a time when investment needs are greatest, financial resources available to the Government are much less then earlier anticipated and are certain to grow less rapidly than the investment requirements. This Report describes and endorses the Government's overalL strategy towards the provision of urban services in the coming Five-Year Plan period (1984/85-1989/90) and suggests ways in which the program might be implemented and financed. Chapter 1 presents a profile of Indonesia's urban areas, describing recent trends in urbanization and economic activity, poverty alleviation and access to services in urban and rural areas, and discussing their implications for an urban strategy. Chapter 2 reviews recent progress in the provision of urban services and, in the light of the discussion in Chapter 1, assesses the size and composition of an appropriate investment program for the coming five-year development plan for the major urban services (water supply, sanitation, Kampung improvement, urban roads, public transport and housing). Chapter 3 discusses questions of administration and manpower for each of the major services and suggests how the process of implementation may have to evolve in the coming years. Finally, Chapters 4 and 5 explore how the expanded program might be financed in view of the slow growth of central government resources; Chapter 4 assesses the scope for increased local government taxation and borrowing, and Chapter 5 discusses the potential and affordability of increased cost recovery.
