I only counted what they labeled “skyscraper” on the side, but there are a lot of buildings taller than 100 m that are labeled as highrises and not skyscrapers. So if you count them for Jakarta it’s actually not 501 because there are 23 buildings on page 7-8 that are shorter than 328 feet (100 m). Also subtract the non-buildings like telecommunications towers and monuments. So it comes out to 476 skyscrapers in Jakarta.
Now looking at Metro Manila and doing the same thing- making sure to only count buildings taller than 328 feet and not counting non-buildings.
So that comes out to 540 skyscrapers for Manila. Again, this is an apples to apples comparison because Metro Manila and Jakarta are both the National Capital Region/ Special Capital Region and include several different cities. Metro Manila and Jakarta also have around the same land area. But in Jakarta, for some reason North Jakarta, South Jakarta etc arent listed on skyscraper sites as different cities. Thats why it’s much easier to find the info all in one place
Park and pedestrian / walkable is different, moron!
The video I posted wasn't a park. He's walking in the median of the road. This is SCBD, one of the major business districts in Jakarta
Here's another supposedly walkable area of Jakarta
In this one, you can see very well that the only thing to do is look at skyscrapers and I guess look at the nice road. There's nothing else for a pedestrian. That's why he's one of the few people walking around.
Now compare that the Legazpi Village in Makati
For the first two minutes, he's just in the park, so you can skip all that. Then he starts walking.
Notice how there's apartments, stores, restaurants, spas, gym right on the sidewalk. And this is one of the older, quiet parts of Makati. It was built like 20 years before BGC. BGC is a much more walkable part of Manila, but even the older areas like Makati have a lot for pedestrians to do.
I would love to see anywhere in Jakarta that looks similar. I'm sure those areas exist. You're not advertising your city well by just posting malls, skyscrapers, and highways. I want to see the neighborhoods and the places where people can walk around
hahaha .... Manila must improve more advanced especially the infrastructure and poverty. Jakarta is already in front , Manila must really ready afraid it Ho Chi Minh will crucify Manila
Lol here we go again with you bragging about something that is not fully functional yet. You really are sounding ridiculous as time goes by. Most Indonesian posters here are just proll trolling. Only some have sense.

And thats why your city is sinking, because people are forced to drill into the ground to access water. So it causes the city to sink. Then you build supertall skyscrapers and big malls just because they're nice to look at, which weighs the city down even more. So that's poor infrastructure. Now you have to build and finish a dam within the next 10 years before half the city is underweater.
Starting at 1:45 in the video, they explain very well what I'm saying.
Meanwhile in Manila, "from 1997 to 2009, Metro Manilans with access to piped water in the East Concession increased from the original 49 percent to 94 percent while in the West Concession, the coverage increased from 67 percent to 86 percent." https://www.philstar.com/opinion/201...4qspEdID0OT.99
^That video also talked about the poor sewage in Jakarta. The link talks about how both Manila and Jakarta had the same sewage problems and so they had projects to correct the problems.
"Jakarta. The poor quality of planning in the Jakarta project was reflected in every aspect of the project's outcome, which is rated unsatisfactory."
"Manila. The Manila project had a satisfactory outcome. The so called combined sewers component of the project provided roadside drainage channels in mostly low-income areas. Small bore pipes connected the septic tanks to drains, which disposed of the liquid overflow."
So maybe these are some of the aspects that cause Manila to be rated higher in quality of life on both major quality of life indexes. See my old post
I also think so. Jakarta trying so hard to squeeze in a life of luxury from malls to designer brands to make them look good with the outside world but neglecting the most basic ones such as access to water, healthcare, welfare, etc. The average poor in Manila has access to all these including basic to lifestyle appliances and such, luxuries that true poor countries doesnt have.
Hi Manolopo ..I talk about infrastructure and poverty is not quality of life https://www.forbes.com/sites/panosmo.../#36a059174f9b
.... by the way in Jakarta in general poor people very excited to work to change their lives from poverty to have a better life while manila not changed. even though Manila has first modern transportation such as MRT & LRT from Jakarta , but unfortunately the infrastructure is still poor this needs to be fixed
the most basic one human eat human food not rubbish in 2019, in their capital city
Yeah there are poor people in Manila who resort to eating rubbish. But that doesnt change the fact that less than half of the people in Jakarta have access to the most basic human necessity, water. And so they have to find their own ways to drill for water. And that's causing your city to sink. So how can you say anything about infrastructure? Get your pipes and sanitation in order first and then tell me about infrastructure.
