Description
Floods used to feel like an unexpected crisis, but in Jakarta they are starting to feel like a repeated pattern that returns every rainy season.
As rain intensifies, water quickly collects in certain areas and the impact spreads beyond Jakarta into nearby cities like Bekasi, Depok, Bogor and Tangerang.
Early 2026 has already brought flooding, affecting multiple neighborhoods and submerging roads, and once that happens the disruption is felt immediately through traffic jams, rerouted commutes and crowded public transportation.
But if daily life still breaks down so quickly every time heavy rain hits, what needs to change so the city can stay moving?
