Urban Redevelopment Act - A Tough Balancing Act?
Listen now
Description
The Urban Redevelopment Act proposed by the Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) aims to inject new life into the city, especially into the areas deemed dilapidated and worn down.

Professor Ainul Jaria Maidin joins us to unpack the conversations surrounding this act and its importance and impact to various stakeholders. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
