Hi, I’m Farid Hanggawan, an Indonesian-qualified lawyer living in South Jakarta. Over the past 15 years, I’ve been involved in various legal and related work, which shaped a deep interest in how law shapes the cities we live in — which is what this blog is really about. Here, I write about the ideas, questions, and everyday observations that come from thinking about law and urban life side by side. If you’d like to know more about my day-to-day practice, you can find that on the Urban Legal website. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something useful here.
