Since 2015, we have made commitments to improve institutional backbone of the foundation, whilst improving relevance of the activities undertaken, including addressing sectoral issues, improving innovation and technology, and consistent in our pedagogic approaches. Last year we have started to organize our activities in three big sectors umbrella of: Urban Governance and Citizenship, Urban Resilience, and Urban Inclusivity. Each sector consists of activities aligned with our vision and goals. We have also included corresponding goals and targets from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals- the world’s to-do-list to end poverty, reducing inequalities, and tackling climate change by 2030- on each activities’ achievements. For almost a decade, Kota Kita’s work and impact have reached more than 20 cities in Indonesia: Solo, Karanganyar, Klaten, Boyolali, Sragen, Boyolali, Yogyakarta, Banjarmasin,

As snapshots of 2017. I am happy to announce support by local government and other stakeholders has expanded beyond Solo to Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, supported by local government and other stakeholders. Kota Kita’s participatory methodology was successfully implemented to map and identify constraints and opportunities for disability inclusion in city planning and policy, and resulted in the development of a disabilityinclusive city profile. Our action research initiative on the creative economy and the potential of informality are currently in progress and the we aim to bring back this knowledge to the kampong sites to support for economic resilience. Also ongoing is our participatory design initiative in Kampong Ngampon (birdcage makers). We are consistent with our efforts to provide capacity building to young activists to encourage for more vibrant social movement in Indonesia through our Urban Citizenship Academy (now with more than 100 alumni participants in 4 cities in Indonesia). The Urban Social Forum, the fifth one last year brought together a thousand of urban activists sharing their experiences and consolidating supports for changes in our cities. We keep moving with our campaign and promotion of the Right to the City where we promote conversation around the understanding of city as “common good”, where citizens have equal rights to use, occupy, produce, govern and enjoy the city. Finally, throughout the pages of this Report, I invite you to reflect on the range of Kota Kita’s activities, through its participatory methodology and innovation, action research and advocacy, pedagogical training and campaigning to help improve citizen participation and collective work to realize just, inclusive, and sustainable Indonesian cities. We continue to actively seek a new collaborations and implement more activities to strive towards this dream.

Kota Kita focuses on three main urban issues: Governance, Inclusivity, and Resilience. In 2017 we grouped our activities in sectors in order to strengthen our organizational capacity and expertise in specific focus areas. Governance, Inclusivity and Resilience serve as frameworks to manage our different initiatives and achieve the organization’s ultimate vision and mission In this way we can integrate our work across all sectors and the sustainable urban development agenda, and include the different actors and issues to reach our goals Urban resilience initiatives have been put on hold to 2018.

“URBAN CITIZENSHIP ACADEMY (UCA) ALLOWS A PLANNING STUDENT LIKE I AM TO GAIN NETWORK WITH PEOPLE I DON’T ALWAYS MEET OR BE ACQUAINTED WITH IN SCHOOL OR IN THE ACADEMIC SETTING. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED AND BENEFITTED FROM THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE IN DATA ANALYSIS, MAPPING AND FIELDWORK, AND ADVOCACY; BUT IT’S THE DIVERSITY OF THE GROUP OF PARTICIPANTS AND THE FRIENDSHIP THAT FOLLOWS THAT ARE MY FAVORITE FEATURE OF THE TRAINING. INSIDE THE CLASSROOM, I LEARN THAT TO DESIGN URBAN SOLUTIONS, WE MUST LEARN FROM THE DATA AND INFORMATION AT HAND. THROUGH UCA, I PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING THAT DATA AND INFORMATION IN A PARTICIPATORY MANNER AND BEING IN TOUCH WITH THE CITIZENS THAT ARE MOST AFFECTED. THAT EXERCISE OPENED MY PERSPECTIVE ABOUT PARTICIPATORY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INTO THE PROCESS OF COLLECTIVE DESIGN FOR SOLUTIONS.

SOME OF THE SKILLS THAT KOTA KITA SHARE THROUGH THE PROGRAM ARE: The Urban Citizenship Academy program is an initiative by Kota Kita to engage a new generation of young leaders and support them in solving pressing urban problems. This program provides a platform for transmitting our approach and methodologies to youth in cities across Indonesia. Training develops their capacity to analyze problems, to understand that these problems are not inevitable, and to see that they can play an active role in

We started the project in 2015 with a feasibility study for cycling condition in Yogyakarta and Solo, especially for women and girls. Then, we chose to concentrate our efforts in Solo City, trying out different action items, from study, public consultations, to policy advocacy, and series of campaign events. 2017 was a year of public campaigns for Women on Wheels. Equipped with studies and analysis from the previous years, last year we focused on promoting and mainstreaming bicycle as a transportation of choice for women, girls, and citizens in general. We worked closely with the city’s stakeholders including Department of Transportation, bicycle groups, and schools to promote collective change in attitudes towards bicycle, also advocacy for improvements in infrastructure and regulations support for cycling in the city.

THE RIGHT TO THE CITY CONCEPT CONSISTS IN THE RIGHT OF ALL INHABITANTS, PRESENT AND FUTURE, TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT, TO USE, OCCUPY, PRODUCE, GOVERN AND ENJOY PEACEFUL, JUST, INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE CITIES, VILLAGES AND SETTLEMENTS, UNDERSTOOD AS A COMMON GOOD ESSENTIAL TO A FULL AND DECENT LIFE. IT IS A COLLECTIVE RIGHT THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SPATIAL ASPECT AND INTERDEPENDENCE OF CIVIL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS.
Since 2015, Kota Kita has been a part of the Global Platform for the Right to the City (GPR2C) an international multi-stakeholder network that has been working towards raising awareness on the Right to the City worldwide. Kita has been engaged in local, national, and international activities and we aim to promote the Right to the City concept as a new paradigm for urban development at the Indonesian and Southeast Asian levels. The idea is to showcase and advocate for the Right to the City as an umbrella concept that could bring together multiple movements in the urban scene, strengthening the civil society participation in producing and shaping inclusive and democratic cities. Kota Kita intends on raising general awareness around the principles and ideas of the concept, also reaching out to a broader, general audience.

2017 ACTIVITIES: Kota Kita has been engaged in international, national, local activities related to the Right to the City. In these engagements, we have been in contact and debate with a varied set of audiences, from experienced practitioners and academicians to a general public.

OBJECTIVES •
To create a democratic and open space for civil society organizations and members to meet and discuss the ways we can improve cities in Indonesia
•
To build a network of urban civil society organizations that focuses on civic innovations and solutions- with potentials for policy advocacy
The Urban Social Forum is an annual event led by Kota Kita, together with civil society organizations from around Indonesia, to create a democratic, open and free space for urban civil society members to meet and discuss different ways to improve our cities, reaffirming that ‘Another City is Possible!’. At the center of a discussion held to open the 5th Urban Social Forum was the big of question of ‘who owns the city?’ and how member of communities could be involved in collaborative actions and active participation in the making of socially just, inclusive, and sustainable Indonesian cities. The plenary session attempted to answer the question by introducing perspectives from Gugun Muhammad, Environmental
and Urban Poor Activist from Jakarta, Hera Diani from feminist publication, Magdalene.co, Savic Ali of Gusdurian and advocate for pluralism, and Somsook Boonyabancha of Asian Coalition of Housing Rights, Thailand. They gave a snapshot of the complexities and challenges in inclusive city planning and development, contributed by gender and class division, also political and ideological ones. However, all agree that we should be working on a paradigm shift from our current development agenda, that champions mere infrastructure and physical growth for economic competitiveness, to return to collective power of communities and their collaboration.
