A Model For Sustainable Development


Yulianto Maliang was commissioned to prepare a Master Layout Plan for an integrated Township on 600 ha of land in Indramayu, located outside of Cirebon City. The development is envisaged to be an mid-market Township that will accommodate a growing population within Indramayu seeking a different way of life.  The development is based on a vibrant, safe and secure, ecologically sustainable and modern environment, with national standard public and civic amenities, as well as places of leisure and recreation. 

The Master Layout Plan takes advantage of the Site’s strengths in terms of its existing natural environment, green vegetation, water bodies and mountain views which will be utilised as a backdrop to create a clean, green environment with extensive parks and recreation areas.  Viewpoints have been maximized throughout the Site with and a large Central Park acting as the development’s key central amenity.  A large institutional campus will be located on the largest site, acting as a catalyst for the region by becoming the focal point of research, development and education for the region’s industries and communities.  An adjoining site will include a large residential development and supporting town centre, while the smaller site on the other side of the Central Park will feature exclusive mid end villa communities, as well as a Nature Resort and Landscape, and a Convention Centre and adjoining Hotel.

Using the site’s unique and dramatic landscape, the vision developed by Yulianto Maliang is ambitious and innovative, borrowing ideas and strategies from the most modern and forward-thinking international approaches to design and planning. Stepping away from the typical style of other projects currently underway in the Country, this Project emphasizes and utilizes the natural attributes of the site to create a strong contrast using modern contemporary angular designs against the hilly, soft landscape that defines the Site.
