When Tri Rismaharini was first elected Mayor in 2010, Surabaya, although rich in history, was a city neglected by successive governments. lieutenant was then described as a concrete dumb.
Mayor Risma’s policy has been to make the most of empty land and open spaces. There are now eleven major parks in Surabaya, all with different themes.
Many parks also provide Wi-Fi access and include libraries, fitness and other sports facilities.
The most prominent is the transformation of Bungkul Park, which has been recognized as the cross-culturally public-engaged park in Southeast Asia. Surabaya has also enlarged other open spaces such as cemeteries so that they serve as water absorption space - unlike Jakarta, the city had not had any serious flooding for three years - and has added green lanes along main roads and created city forests. Tri Rismaharini policy of closing down brothels has been criticized by aid and health care workers as it makes the sex trade dispersed and not disappear.
Making prostitution illegal makes many sex workers work in conditions that are more dangerous and unregulated and therefore more at risk from diseases.
Tri Rismaharini"s reforms though have wide support in Indonesia.
