According to him, East Jakarta is ready to transform into a new golden area in Jakarta, leaving its old image as an industrial area into a business and commercial area. The area of East Jakarta which is the largest in Jakarta and the lowest population density opens up opportunities for this area to develop freely.
A number of areas are even projected to encourage the creation of new gold areas in East Jakarta. Widodo did not deny that although so far the East Jakarta area has often been left behind compared to other areas in Jakarta, his party has prepared a number of regional development plans in accordance with its potentials.

Each zone can be developed according to its characteristics. "Zone 1 is close to industry and many offices in Kelapa Gading, it can become a business center. Zone 2 is a residential area. While zone 3 is a meeting point for many transportations, such as the Jabodebek LRT, MRT, Halim Perdana Kusumah Airport to the KCIC fast train can be a hub transportation that will drive growth," Yayat concluded.
