Economy
In the days following World War II, South Jakarta was planned to be a satellite city (especially the Kebayoran Baru area) and use the oriental concept. This area also contains some industrial centers for different types of commodities. South Jakarta is a prosperous administrative city compared to the others, with much middle-to-upper class housing and major business centres.[3] South Jakarta has the highest Human Development Index of all Jakarta's administrative cities, with an HDI of 0.833.[4]
Much of the central business district is concentrated in Setiabudi, South Jakarta, such as Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) in Senayan, Kebayoran Baru. Initially, SCBD was a service provider and real estate investment, but nowadays, it is becoming the most integrated mixed-use area in Indonesia.[5]
