Unlocking opportunities for light rail, transit-oriented development, and land value capture in Greater Semarang

Led by:  Techne Praxis International
Sector: Mobility

Duration: 2022 - 2025

 
Project background:
 
There is a need to tackle financing and delivery barriers blocking the development of light rail transport systems. This needs an integrated approach which will generate practical learnings through pilot projects to be scaled nationally to maximise impact, increase efficiency in urban mobility, promote a shift from private vehicles to mass transport and carbon emissions reductions.
 
Project summary:
 
In collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation’s Directorate General of Railways, PT Kereta Api Indonesia, and the Metropolitan Semarang authorities, this project tackled financing and delivery barriers blocking the development of light rail transport systems. The project also generated practical learnings through pilot projects that can be scaled up nationally to maximise impact. 
 

Our expected outcomes from the project:

  • Foundational understanding on TOD/LVC mechanism to unlock railway development second-tier cities
  • An integrated approach to network planning will increase efficiency in urban mobility, promoting a shift from private vehicles to mass transport and carbon emissions reductions
