A Smart and Interactive Livable City Plan for the City of Makassar
Channel: Asian Development Bank
Date: 2022-04-13

Makassar is a key economic, social, and employment hub in the Mamminasata region of South Sulawesi in Indonesia. To address the challenges of rapid urbanization and support the Makassar City Government’s ambitious smart city program, the ASEAN Australia Smart Cities Trust Fund (AASCTF) ­– funded by the Government of Australia, managed by the Asian Development Bank, and implemented by Ramboll – developed the Makassar Livable City Plan Project.

At the heart of the project is the Makassar Livable City Plan, which is an innovative package of plans and assessments, digital platforms, and smart tools that considers a holistic examination of the city’s needs and challenges, as well as the views of citizens, putting forth a strategic framework for smart urban development. The plan itself is in an interactive format, supplemented by a stakeholder engagement dashboard, a prioritization tool for potential smart city interventions, a GIS platform, and a digital climate resilience platform created by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.

The Makassar Livable City Plan and its suite of data-driven digital tools will allow government agencies to collaborate and prioritize investments to pursue smart interventions using an informed, evidence-based approach.

Through this project, Makassar will be on its way to achieving its vision of a smart, hospitable city for all.
