Jakarta (B2B) - Tepat 22 Juni mendatang, kota Jakarta genap berusia 487 tahun, suatu usia yang tidak lagi muda. Jakarta terus berbenah diri menjadi kota pemerintahan, ekonomi, maupun swasta. Berbagai program pembangunan telah dilakukan agar Jakarta bisa sejajar dengan kota-kota besar lainnya di dunia.
Ketua Panitia HUT DKI Jakarta, Bambang Sugiyono, mengatakan, Pemprov DKI Jakarta terus membangun sarana dan prasarana agar masyarakat Jakarta semakin sejahtera. Seperti pembangunan rumah yang layak huni sehingga tidak ada lagi yang tinggal di kolong jembatan, pendidikan dan kesehatan gratis, serta mewujudkan kota yang ramah.
"Kami ingin semuanya bergerak maju, agar Jakarta menjadi kota yang ramah, termasuk ramah bagi anak maupun lansia," kata Bambang, Minggu (8/6).
Berbagai program pembangunan yang dijalankan program DKI Jakarta mendapat apresiasi dari berbagai kalangan.
Pengamat perkotaan dari Universitas Trisakti, Nirwono Yoga, mengapresiasi beberapa program Pemprov DKI yang cukup berhasil dalam membenahi wajah ibu kota seperti pembangunan Kampung Deret, Kartu Jakarta Pintar (KJP), Kartu Jakarta Sehat (KJS), revitalisasi waduk, birokrasi, dan pelestarian budaya Betawi.
"Pendidikan, kesehatan sudah ada peningkatan, penggunaan baju adat Betawi terlihat menghargai budaya, lelang jabatan yang transparan, serta pelayanan kepada masyarakat juga sudah ada perubahan," ujarnya.
Meski demikian, kata Nirwono Yoga, Pemprov DKI Jakarta dibawah kepemimpinan Joko Widodo dan Basuki T Purnama jangan lekas berpuas diri. Pasalnya, kata dia, masih banyak pekerjaan rumah yang mesti segera diselesaikan. Seperti masalah angkutan massal, dimana jumlah bus serta koridor perlu ditambah, trotoar yang nyaman buat pejalan kaki, penegakan hukum terhadap pedagang kaki lima (PKL), serta penambahan ruang terbuka hijau.
