Urban growth starts with optimized land use
Smart cities development paint exciting opportunities for fair capital growth.
Rio Respro seek to strategize a long-term vision to large-scale urban infrastructure assets with a focus on delivering stable, long-term capital appreciation.
Urban Challenge
68% of the world's population lives in cities by 2050 and the World Bank projected 75% of Indonesia's population lives in cities by 2045. Walkable cities have been the centres of economic activity, drivers of growth and advocates of productivity.
Digital technologies and infrastructure have the potential to boost more inclusive and sustainable growth by spurring innovation, generating efficiencies, and improving services. They are also an important tool in helping gateway cities to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic that has disrupted urban economies and communities.

Yogyakarta
Manado
Sarbagita - Mengwi
Jogja, a thriving college town
A medium size province in mid Java Island like Yogyakarta, pop 3,5 million popular for student-town, cultural center, and 2nd tourism destination after Bali, reflects to growing demands in affordable living quarters although property land market increased by 5-9% y-to-y. Pulses of housing development arise in North and West of Yogyakarta due to 2022 anticipated commissioning of new toll road bound to Bawen-Yogyakarta, as integrated to Borobudur area and New Yogyakarta International Airport to the west, and Yogyakarta-Surakarta to the east.
North of Yogyakarta, Sleman Regency having 20+ public and private universities, remains valuable to housing development; greener landscape, better water quantity, improved access to ring roads. Demographics in Sardonoharjo Village represent 20,000 residents, balanced ratio between men and women, averaged to have graduated from High School and Colleges.
Families bring over their first and second generations to come to Yogyakarta for education purposes, relying on highly reputable universities, college tuition and living cost. 2023, Yogyakarta has seen 640,650 students in-and-out the city. A repetitious trend within parent groups are to invest in a 3 bedroom house close to the universities, instead of sending their teens to dormitories/boarding houses. This way, parents are making substantial returns within 6 years; education for their kids along with capital gain on the property.
New City Manado
"City of Government” was considered appropriate for the upcoming urban development. Manado is being shaped with key features:
An independent and integrated new public city around a city or metropolitan urban area which is intended for the lower middle income community and is directed as an urbanization buffer in the city or metropolitan urban area;
A National Activity Center (PKN) which is oriented towards increasing the specialization of the tourism function, processing industry while maintaining local culture;
Center of new livable settlements supported by complete economic and socio-cultural facilities to prevent uncontrolled settlements (urban sprawl) due to urbanization in the nearest autonomous city.
The landuse planning stipulated ready-to-build area (KASIBA) with various functions of settlements, trade and services, tourism, offices and sports. Thus, the New Manado serves more than a center for tourism, trade and service development but also remains a significant capital city serving the 13,893 km2 wide of North Sulawesi Province.
Manado diversity in harmony
North Sulawesi relies on its local vision to bring green, blue, and circular economy concepts into development stage. As stipulated on Presidential Decree No 16/2024, NATIONAL TOURISM DESTINATION MASTER PLAN MANADO-LIKUPANG 2023-2044, tourism zoning focuses on the following KSPN (Kawasan Strategis Pariwisata Nasional):
KSPN Bunaken

KSPN Bitung-Lembeh
KSPN Tomohon-Tondano
