Jurnal Pembangunan Kota Tangerang (JPKT) (p-ISSN: 3046-8582; e-ISSN: 3025-4698) is a biannual, double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published in June and December by the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) of Tangerang City.
JPKT serves as an international academic dissemination platform dedicated to advancing empirical and theoretical discourse in contemporary urban governance, evidence-based policymaking, and sustainable regional transformation. Capitalizing on the strategic position of Tangerang City as Indonesia's premier aerotropolis hub, a core node within the Jakarta Metropolitan Agglomeration (Jabodetabek), and a leading pioneer in smart municipal governance (*Tangerang LIVE ecosystem*), the journal bridges rigorous academic inquiry and high-level policy applications to address multifaceted urban futures.
Distinctive Excellence & Strategic Niche
Grounding its epistemological framework in the triple-helix synergy (academia, municipal government, and societal practitioners), JPKT emphasizes empirical rigor and policy translational capacity. The journal uniquely spotlights contextual urban analytics, cross-jurisdictional infrastructure and mobility, circular economic transitions, climate-adaptive spatial dynamics, and scalable digital public sector innovations.
