History

Settlement of the 19th century was similarly port-focussed and thus was among the settled urban parts that suffered in the early 19th century severe malaria outbreak. This prompted building the Weltevreden, "well-contented", the new administrative heart of the city, which was at the time the city of Batavia. Industry and associated housing, needing port direct connectivity followed for much of the 20th century. Development continues to focus on other districts where the land is easier to drain and thus less costly to build high-rise, whilst keeping a partially green, tree-rich prospect from many coastal locations along this shore.
