Overview

As part of its stated goal of providing residences for low-income communities, the Director-General of Agrarian Legal Relations at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency has also affirmed the general belief that vertical living (hunian vertikal) offers an adequate solution to the problem of limited available space for the development of residential areas and should therefore be taken seriously.[1] Indeed, vertical living in the form of apartments has long been an attractive alternative for professionals living in urban cities.[2]
