Starting the path towards UNESCO World Heritage List nomination - The Case of Kota Tua
Regional Peer-Learning and Action Planning Workshop, 17 - 19 July 2017 in Jakarta, Indonesia
Urban heritage specialists and planners from the Asian region and from Germany on July 17-19, 2017 gathered in Jakarta for a three-day workshop to discuss and advise the rehabilitation of the Old Town (Kota Tua) of Jakarta. Formerly known as Batavia and famous for its role in early global trade, particularly spices, Jakarta now is the vibrant capital of Indonesia and home to more than 12 million inhabitants.
The regional peer-learning and action planning workshop was organized by Connective Cities in cooperation with United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) World Secretariat and United Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific (UCLG Aspac).
Whereas good practices from participating cities in the Asian region (Guangzhou, Makati, Bogor, Semarang, Surabaya, Vigan) and from Germany (Essen, Nuremberg, Goerlitz, Tuebingen) were exchanged and lessons learnt for possible transfer, the key objective was to provide recommendations to the Jakarta City Government on how to proceed with the strategy to rehabilitate the old town and its surroundings, comprising of more than 300 hectares and four nearby islands that were used as shipyards during colonial times. Besides this general objective the special intention was to obtain more knowledge and support in the nomination process for Kota Tua to be inscribed as Historic City on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.

Ergebnisse
Recommendations in strategic terms were given regarding a review of the existing masterplan for Kota Tua, especially concerning recognition of the "Outstanding Universal Values" ("OUV") of the existing urban environment and monuments to meet the "OUV" criteria of a UNESCO nomination. A further recommendation was to think about the extension of a possible buffer zone and how the islands may be included and whether the buffer zone might comprise the overall urban renewal area.
The rehabilitation of the area then - based on the existing legal instruments, urban development goals and local laws of heritage nominations - would raise the chances to mobilise financial resources available as well as increase commitment of owners and other stakeholders. Start of the rehabilitation process of selected monuments, that have high quality and relevance for the preservation of the entire ensemble, would benefit the overall nomination process.
This strategy should be based on a systematic approach to mobilise owners of the buildings and get their support and commitment based on specific instruments related to tax exemptions, advise on reconstruction work and individual consultations on appropriate future uses of properties. Moreover, the rehabilitation of public space might be an important incentive for this intended private sector driven reconstruction approach.
In institutional terms, the creation of a sub-district of its own (Kota Tua and Islands) could greatly facilitate the rehabilitation process by allowing to allocate sufficient management authority and resources to one distinct level of government.
The application for inscription on the World Heritage List would thus be an accompanying process in collaboration with the national level institutions (in charge of putting up a “Tentative List”), that needs special procedures and time. The progress in rehabilitation has its own very important value for Kota Tua, but to the same extent it adequately supports the application process.
