The hidden territories of Jakarta. Considered as centres of growth and services for the agglomeration, public and commercial centres have an emblematic position in the city. In the Jakarta Structure Plan running up to 2005 1 , there are 8 primary activity centres: Glodok, Tanjung Priok, Senen, Tanah Abang, Jatinegara and Manggarai and two new areas that are to be developed in the West (near Kebon Jeruk) and in the East (Pulogebang). They are all hubs for public transport with bus terminals or train stations, and commercial activity with major markets and shopping centres. They are characterised by their central place in the life of the city, as nodes in both daily trips in the city and in fulfilling the everyday needs of the Jakartans. These public places are important both in city management and in every inhabitant's life. But they have an ambivalent position: as major nodes, they seem to have priority in the city planning policies, going through movements of renewal and development. But at the same time these areas are dreaded as insecure places, where most of the disorders of the city can be found, from informal activities such as street hawking and peddling, to illegal ones such as gambling, petty theft and more serious criminality.
