Cikarang: Increasingly Popular as a Residential Area

Cikarang, long known for its concentration of industrial parks, once had a reputation for poor air quality and an unfavorable living environment.

In recent years, however, the area has undergone significant residential development, and is now increasingly recognized as a modern, livable city — characterized by abundant greenery, well-developed infrastructure, and a high level of public safety.

A prominent example of this transformation is Kota Deltamas (Deltamas City). Developed by local firm Sinar Mas Land in partnership with Sojitz Corporation of Japan, Deltamas City is a large-scale mixed-use urban development spanning 3,200 hectares. It features not only industrial zones, but also residential areas, commercial facilities, hospitals, schools, and government offices.
