The Dukuh Atas MRT station, located in Central Jakarta, is a key component of the new MRT system. It is part of a new transportation hub served by five modes of transit: mass rapid transit, light rail transit, bus rapid transit, Soekarno–Hatta Airport Railink, and commuter rail. Despite these strong transit links, Dukuh Atas is challenged by a lack of connections between stations. Poor pedestrian infrastructure and physical barriers created by Sudirman Road and the Ciliwung River also make the area difficult to navigate.

In response to these challenges, the master plan provides a comprehensive urban design strategy and guidelines to improve access and connectivity. Enhanced sidewalks and streetscapes, bridges, new civic open spaces, and fine-grained and permeable development all contribute to a better pedestrian experience. SOM’s urban design guidelines support the transformation of Dukuh Atas into a livable, economically diverse, and sustainable transit-oriented neighborhood.
