Urban Talks is one of the featured programs of Jakarta Future Festival 2026, serving as a panel discussion forum that brings together diverse urban stakeholders, to address Urban Water and Sanitation Systems: Jakarta in A Transition. Access to clean water and adequate sanitation remains a critical challenge for Jakarta as it advances toward becoming a global city. Despite ongoing efforts, piped water coverage is still uneven, while wastewater management systems remain limited, contributing to environmental degradation and public health risks. Initiatives such as the Jakarta Sewerage Development Project (JSDP) reflect the city’s commitment to building modern sanitation infrastructure and strengthening urban resilience. The discussion will try to achieve a resilient and globally competitive Jakarta that will depend on expanding equitable access, integrating water systems, and fostering collective behavioral change among its residents.
