Document Summary
4th largest country in the world population wise. Capital city, place that is the largest city by significant margin in indonesia. City that essentially came into existence as a colonial settlement. Euorpean arteries and spaces between those arteries where europeans were allowed trading port for dutch vessels to settle. Reference back to small villages where people used to live. 13. 2 million people living in 230 square mile areas. Los angeles 9. 8 million in 4,700 spare miles. Low lying area, about 40% of city is below sea level. People living in two story houses but densities greater than in manhattan. In the back, behind the main streets. Disorienting for what we expect a city to be. What counts as the land that nobody else is occupying dependes on geography. People still living on rivers 20 years later. Cleaned out a lot of the railroads. There are also kampungs that are nicer. May not have property rights but might have occupancy rights.
