Batam, Indonesia · 1,196,396 people · Industrial City
Governing a free trade industrial zone whose economy is closely tied to nearby Singapore.
The record Batam keeps on the Board of Mayors is still unwritten. Take office and write its opening chapter.
Take the Oath of OfficeLandmark: Barelang Bridge.
Take office and each day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is judged on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, within the city's budget, and every term adds to the record Batam keeps on the Board of Mayors. Mayors message and confer with one another, form councils, trade with neighbouring cities and send aid where it is needed. Cities rise together.
