A New Fantastic Point of View
Jakarta. Shanty neighborhoods in the greater Jakarta area are becoming a riot of color, with residents trying to transform them into tourist attractions.
Jalan Danau Tondano in Depok is now full of paintings, which through the use of shadow and perspective create a three-dimensional effect. They also make motorists decrease their speed while passing the colorful street.
Not far from Jalan Tondano, Kampung Geulis (while guelis means "beautiful" in Sundanese, it is also an acronym of Green Urban Life Style) attracts residents from other districts to come for highly Instagrammable photos.
Gang Husada in West Pamulang, South Tangerang, is also full of 3-D paintings. Landscape and nature are the main theme. Rivers and waterfalls stretch along the street. The neighborhood was chosen by the South Tangerang administration as the pilot project in its Kampung Cantik (Beautiful Neighborhood) program.
