Guardian Cities is in Jakarta for a week of in-depth reporting and live events. From Monday 21 to Friday 25 November, we’ll be discussing all aspects of life in this south-east Asian megalopolis – from rush hour to rats, and malls to media, with much more besides.
On Monday we’ll be running a special live blog through the day (10am to 10pm local time, 3am to 3pm GMT). Stay tuned for live reporting from Jakartans from around the city’s markets, riversides and hidden corners – culminating in an event at the Goethe-Institut, where we will be asking some of the city’s leading architects, journalists, comedians and urban planners what life’s really like for the people of Jakarta today.
Throughout the week, we aim to take an in-depth look at the stories that tend to go under-reported even in the city itself, and to listen to people who are not usually heard. So whether you live in Jakarta or further afield, we hope you’ll get involved and share your perspectives with us …
