Inequality of Development in Depok City as a “Smart City” West Java.

Optimizing Depok as a "smart city" is an effort by the Depok city government to make the city of Depok more advanced in managing potential resources. In addition, this is carried out as a driving force for the performance of Depok City government services. The Depok Smart program is a real solution in answering social problems in Depok City. The concept of “smart city” was originally implemented in developed countries and has become increasingly popular in Asia and has become an ASEAN initiative. The concept of "smart city" development has been initiated in various cities and regions in Indonesia. 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
