Bandung has indeed been regarded as the role model of smart city in Indonesia by many. The tech atmosphere in the city, caring and fully-equipped local government, as well as the presence of open-minded society make the implementation of the project there a lot easier.

Ridwan Kamil, Bandung’s Major, has also introduced Bandung Command Center, a program of monitoring the whole Bandung through a single facility that also processes real-time reports made by citizens. Moreover, the Technology Institute of Bandung (ITB) also plans to open the Open Innovation Lab program as a place where people may exchange their thoughts and ideas.

Smart city has become the main theme of development in Indonesia. No less than Jakarta, Banyuwangi, and many others aiming to implement the concept in their own city.
