The city has emphasized effectiveness, efficiency, and adequacy in developing the fine arts subsector. The study sheds light on the readiness of South Jakarta’s creative city, which heavily relies on the involvement of the local government and creative communities. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into the roles of the local government and creative communities.
