Neighbors pass the day hanging out on the bench facing the river at Kebon Pala.
Kebon Pala community in Kampung Melayu neighborhood of Jakarta lies on the banks of the Ciliwung River and is very prone to flooding. The process of Normalisasi” (turning the river into a concrete channel surrounded by walls) is threatening the eviction of houses nearest to the river here.
For the next week we are following a Michigan Engineering graduate who helps map flooding in Jakarta using social media based data. Follow our blog at http://umjakarta.tumblr.com/
