Menteng was home, and still is the preferred residential area for many prominent national
and international leaders. In 1975, Ali Sadikin issued a gubernatorial degree, declaring
Menteng as a cultural heritage area as part of his efforts in preserving the unique colonial
architecture within the elite subdistrict.
THE HISTORICAL DISTRICT OF
N ieu w G ondangdia
Located at the heart of Menteng, a prestigious subdistrict of Central Jakarta. During the colonial era, Menteng was designed by Pieter
Adriaan Jacobus Moojen, a prominent Dutch architect to resemble the garden city concept of Sir Ebenezer Howard, a proponent
of a utopian city where people live harmoniously, side by side with nature. This ambitious city project took 29 years to complete,
and in 1939, the urban residential neighborhood designed for the upper-middle class European communities was completed. The
plan combined wide boulevards with public gardens, such as Taman Suropati, Taman Menteng & Taman Proklamasi, with iconic
landmarks dedicated to the arts, such as Bataviasche Kunstkring, now known as the Kunstkring Gallery and Taman Ismail Marzuki.
