"Pilihan pengembangan kelembagaan Ibukota Republik Indonesia dapat menjadi tolak ukur rasa keadilan bangsaIndonesia dalam membenahi carut marut pembangunan perkotaan secara menyeluruh di Indonesia. Jika konsepmegapolitan begitu saja di-gol-kan oleh wakil rakyat, maka bangsa Indonesia tengah mengidap penyakit rendahnya rasakeadilan. Megapolitan adalah kota dengan ciri-ciri: (1) jumlah penduduk yang sangat besar; (2) jaringan yang terciptamenggambarkan keterkaitan bukan saja berskala nasional tapi juga internasional; (3) dari sudut ruang, menggambarkanadanya keterkaitan antar berbagai kota secara individual bahkan penggabungan. Kebutuhan mendesak penangananmasalah perkotaan di DKI Jakarta memang terasa tinggi, tetapi tidak boleh menyurutkan rasa keadilan kita sebagaibangsa. Pilihan ke arah sana terbentur oleh kelembagaan kota secara nasional yang tidak jelas.The choice of institutional development for Jakarta as Indonesian capital city can be the barometer of equity andfairness as value to whole developing nation, especially for urban development in Indonesia. If megalopolis conceptproposed by Sutiyoso received without reverse, then we have disease to the equity and fairness values as a nation state.Megalopolis is a city characterized by: (1) huge population and density; (2) national and international networking scale;(3) huge integrated spatial. The problematic situation of urban development in Jakarta is urgent, but it is un-fair and unequalif development of other cities in Indonesia is abandoned. The choice to develop megalopolis is still unclear."

"This book is an attempt to understand a city through its roads. It explores the origins and development of three important roads of Calcutta (now renamed as Kolkata) from the pre-British colonial era to the postcolonial period. Spanning a period of four centuries, these three roads, Bagbazar Street in the north, Theatre Road in the centre, and Rashbehari Avenue in the south, register the contours of urbanization and the changes in the socio-cultural profile of the residents. The author locates this history within a broader theoretical framework with the help of which one can analyse the role of roads in urbanization, which are determined and influenced by the various political, economic, and socio-cultural impulses. The narrative traces the rise of Calcutta from a fledgling town to a giant metropolis through the history of these roads, and approaches the present era, when these roads have reached a cul-de-sac where their further expansion is restricted by territorial limits and environmental constraints. But the roads are still needed to meet the gargantuan appetite of urbanization, which is leading to the expansion of present-day Kolkata beyond its north-eastern borders. Here, the development of commercial-cum-residential complexes in the area known as the New Town, is Kolkatas first step in its ambition to graduate from a metropolis to a megalopolis. The book ends with a discussion on the changing character of roads in this New Town in the era of globalization."
