Many are now eyeing independent city areas as their preferred residential choice. With various considerations, these cities make logical sense in supporting modern lifestyles. Apart from their appealing smart city concepts, self-contained cities prioritize green environments, thereby enhancing the quality of life for their residents. According to a report by Kompas.com on Friday (4/12/2022), these cities are developed to accommodate various purposes including residential, office spaces, business centers, entertainment, and public facilities. They also serve as an ideal solution for addressing urban planning issues such as population density common in metropolitan areas like Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya, hence they are often built around these major cities.
Self-contained cities are designed to offer residents a unique living experience. They feature comprehensive amenities catering to daily life, work, business development, and leisure activities. Facilities such as recreational parks, shopping centers, healthcare, and educational services are readily accessible within close proximity, eliminating the need for frequent trips to larger cities.

One of the advantages of living in a self-contained city is the availability of office spaces and business centers, making it convenient for residents planning to start or relocate their businesses. Locations like Tangerang New Industry City (TNIC) in Banten have attracted renowned companies, indicating a promising business environment that can positively impact corporate performance.

Each self-contained city is developed with its own distinct concept, blending modernity with green environments. Some emphasize luxurious modern facilities and urban planning, while others integrate modern amenities with green spaces to maximize the location's potential in buffer zones known for their cooler, cleaner air and natural vegetation.

Another notable feature of self-contained cities is their excellent accessibility and transit-oriented development (TOD). They typically offer well-developed transportation infrastructure such as highways, toll roads, and public transport systems like Mono Rail Train (MRT). This makes commuting to city centers and surrounding areas efficient and convenient.

For those considering owning property in a self-contained city, options abound in various strategic locations, particularly in the Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi (Jabodetabek) area. Developers recognize the importance of transit-oriented development (TOD) as a key factor in enhancing connectivity between different transportation modes, further solidifying the appeal of self-contained cities as ideal residential choices.
