The city of Jakarta, Indonesia, was originally designed in the confluence of thirteen rivers which were used for transportation and agriculture. The largest of its rivers is The Ciliwung River, which has been extremely polluted during the last couple of decades, characterizes by hundreds of slums inhabited by thousands of people in marginal conditions.

The Ciliwung Recovery Program (CRP) is a project that aims to collect the garbage of the riverbank and purify its water through an ingenious system of mega-filters that operate in three different phases. The first one separates the different types of garbage and utilizes the organic one to fertilize its soil. The second phase purifies the water by removing dangerous chemicals and adding important minerals to it. The clean water is then fed to the river and to the nearby agricultural fields through a system of capillary tubes.  Finally in the third phase all the recyclable waste is processed.

One of the most important aspects of this proposal is the elimination of the slums along the river. The majority of the people will live and work at the CRP which could be understood as new city within Jakarta. The CRP project will be a 100 percent sustainable building that will produce energy through wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems.

    Forgetting the cultural facts… it’s beautiful and hopeful.
    Let’s assume, even if the designer is a native, his definition of “sustainable” doesn’t include funding the maintenance cost, vandalism and stealing from peoples who live around the location.

    A much anticipated project….. if you guys ever decided to build one….than i’m in.

    @Seika:”his definition of “sustainable” doesn’t include funding the maintenance cost, vandalism and stealing from peoples who live around the location.”
    well to see it in a positive view to fund the project, the project it self can be ’sold ‘ to the provincional goverment as their answer to the needs of the people of Jakarta. and I’m quite sure many well known companies will also fund the project just to have their name to be associated with healty living and enviromentally responsible.

    Again …provisiat :)
