Much attention has been paid recently to land grabs in rural and urban areas of the global South, but relatively little attention has been paid to such activities in the third dimension-vertical space. Yet vertical space has also been increasingly colonized, as manifest in the transformation of mega-city skylines through the proliferating number and height of high-rises in both central cities and peri-urban developments. We investigate how floor area ratio policies, originally designed to control densification, have been reworked to facilitate densification through floor area uplift. Thus a tool originally developed to advance public welfare has been used to facilitate the profitability of real estate projects for developers and to benefit local governments. Taking DKI Jakarta as our case study, we sketch out the coevolution of this policy with urban regimes, focusing on the mid-2010s when compensation measures were formalized and made transparent. By using a particular project in Jakarta's central business district we show how the benefits of floor area uplift favor private sector developers over the local government. In a context of rapidly increasing land values, increasing demand for housing from an emergent middle class, and particularly the privatization of planning, this unevenness systematically favors the private sector.

According to the Jakarta BPS (2019), population density in the Jakarta area has reached an average of 15,938 people/km2 in 2019. Such population density creates a population mobility of up to 1.2 million people per day based on the results of the 2019 Jabodetabek Commuter Survey. Therefore, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has collaborated with the Jakarta MRT to start making an Urban Design for Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). In the construction of 13 MRT stations, the government needs to think about how the concept of the Integrated Transit Area (TOD) will be formed in the area around the station. The MRT project was completed on March 24, 2019. One of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's planning concepts applied is the MRT Fatmawati TOD area with the gateway concept, which is a system of integration of the city transportation mode with a feeder system to the origin's central area that is outside the initial transit point development area. After one year has passed, the Fatmawati MRT area needs to be evaluated based on indicators set by the Government and local NGOs to measure the feasibility of the Fatmawati MRT function as a gateway TOD area and whether the TOD policy itself is appropriate for the integrated Fatmawati MRT area. Keywords:  Transit Oriented Development; Feasibility; MRT FatmawatiAbstrakMenurut BPS Jakarta (2019), kepadatan penduduk di daerah Jakarta sudah sampai dengan rata-rata 15.938 jiwa/km2 pada tahun 2019. Kepadatan penduduk demikian menciptakan mobilitas penduduk sampai dengan 1,2 juta orang per hari berdasarkan hasil Survei Komuter Jabodetabek 2019. Untuk itu. Pemprov DKI Jakarta telah bekerjasama dengan MRT Jakarta untuk mulai membuat Perancangan Kota (Urban Design) untuk sistem angkutan massal yang bernama Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Dalam pembangunan 13 stasiun MRT, pemerintah perlu memikirkan bagaimana konsep Kawasan Transit Terpadu (TOD) yang akan terbentuk pada kawasan sekitar stasiun. Proyek MRT ini selesai dibangun pada tanggal 24 Maret 2019 dan menjadi jawaban untuk mewadahi mobilitas penduduk yang tinggi. Salah satu konsep perencanaan Pemprov DKI Jakara yang diterapkan yaitu pada kawasan TOD MRT Fatmawati dengan konsep gateway, yaitu sistem integrasi jaringan moda transportasi kota dengan sistem feeder ke area pusat origin yang berada di luar area pengembangan titik transit awal, mengembangkan fungsi yang dapat mengakomodasikan aktivitas live-play-work, yang berfungsi sebagai daerah ‘origin’, dan mengembangkan sarana parkir komunal untuk fasilitas park and ride. Setelah satu tahun berlalu, kawasan MRT Fatmawati perlu dievaluasi berdasarkan indikator yang sudah ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah dan LSM setempat untuk mengukur kelayakan fungsi MRT Fatmawati sebagai kawasan TOD gateway dan apakah kebijakan TOD itu sendiri sudah sesuai terhadap kawasan terpadu MRT Fatmawati.
