I do believe the quotes that are said “The million steps in the journey s is starting from the first step”. Yeah, and one of my first steps is writing this essay.

Kota adalah pengejawantahan artefak urban yang komprehensif, mengakar dan berkait kelindan dengan budaya masyarakat itu sendiri. Semakin besar suatu kota, maka semakin besar pula permasalahan yang dihadapi. Ketimpangan ekonomi yang menganga antara desa dan kota menyebabkan arus deras urbanisasi semakin menyumbang permasalahan kota menjadi kompleks. Munculnya degradasi lingkungan, ketidaktersediaan pemukiman atau perumahan, minimnya ruang publik, diperparah dengan amburadulnya sarana dan prasarana sistem transportasi menyebabkan kota semakin semrawut. Dewasa ini, ada banyak sekali konsep pengembangan kota yang digulirkan dan digaungkan. Mulai dari kota hijau ( green city ), kota pintar ( smart city ), compact city, megacity , kota satelit/baru dan lain-lain.
