INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta - Ciputra Group Director, Agus Surja Widjaja, confirms that private developers are able to build residential areas with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) concept as long as the scheme is submitted to market mechanism.

If development submitted to the private sector development would be faster," said Agus.
