ABSTRACT
This chapter explores emerging planning policy instruments that are relevant to peri-urban transformation, with the case study of the Surabaya Metropolitan Area (SMA). It identifies demographic and socio-economic aspects of peri-urban transformation in the SMA. The chapter discusses the role of industrial sectors and industrial employment in the spatial transformation of peri-urban areas, followed by an exploration of planning policy support and adaptation. It divides the SMA into three urban-rural functional zones based on their distance from the city center of Surabaya: the metropolitan core, the inner peri-urban area, and the outer peri-urban area. Industrial expansion has become a defining feature of peri-urban transformation in the SMA. As is evident in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, at the local scale, the development planning support from the private sector particularly from the industrial park managers seems to more effective than the subnational government's planning process. The government is only effective in providing the general locations and development direction through building transport infrastructure.
