However, in reality, Depok City is still growing with innovations that can solve social problems in an integrated manner with strategies and policies that are supported by the community, community, academics and business actors.

Keywords: Depok Smart City, Urban Planning Policy, Development Inequality, Urban Planning Management.

“In great cities, spaces as well as places are designed and built: walking, witnessing, being in public, are as much part of the design and purpose as is being inside to eat, sleep, make shoes or love or music. The word citizen has to do with cities, and the ideal city is organized around citizenship -- around participation in public life.”

― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
