Deforestation and forest fire is already huge problems in Kalimantan, and what do we do to build houses? Surprise surprise, more deforestation. Some news reported that the government promises to do their best at keeping green areas in public places, but will they really? As long as industrial capitalism is still above everything, I can't see it happening. A sustainable city will only happen with a sustainable mindset from the very beginning.
It's funny that people tend to forget the importance of nature when it comes to residential areas. When in actuality greener neighbourhoods are better for residents health - for example trees provide a buffer for noise pollution, air pollution, and is better for ground temperature which will encourage people to be outside more.
Furthermore, having green areas can increase property value of an area.
