REVITALISASI KONSEP PUBLIK DALAM PEMIKIRAN DAN PRAKTEK PEMBANGUNAN KOTA BANDUNG LESTARI
Abstract: Sustainable development
is defined as
the ability to
ensure the fulfillment
of the needs of the present
without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The concept of sustainable urban
development is crucial because at the beginning of the 21st century, more than
half of the world's population live in urban areas. By using the concept of sustainable
development and comparing the empirical facts about the reputation of the city
of Bandung with other
cities in Indonesia,
this paper aims
to a hypothesis
stating that the realization of becoming a champion city
of Bandung, as politically announced by
its mayor, remains a tremendous
challenge. Four critical
issues need to
be addressed, both
by city government of
Bandung as well
as by its
citizens, in order
to promote sustainable
urban development. These are,
firstly , how to meet the
considerable needs of the entire
population of Bandung as the fight against poverty through employment and
adequate public services. Secondly,
how to establish
a political system
that guarantees the
participation of the population Bandung effectively in the
decision making process and ensure the application of greater
democracy in both
national and international
levels. Thirdly , how
to control the number
of population and
to promote lifestyle changes, both
the manager and
the people. Fourthly, how to
build political will at encouraging all of them can be realized. At the end, this
article concludes that the revitalization of publicness as central concept in
sustainable development has now met its momentum, yet it needs the tireless
efforts.
Key-words: sustainable city
development, public services, citizen's participatory, good city governance,
Bandung City
