"This RPJMD is not only a direction for development, but also a commitment to complete it within a maximum of six months after the inauguration of the regional head," he said.

In the Memorandum of Understanding document that was read, it was stated that the formulation of the vision, mission, goals and targets for the development of the City of Bandung for 2025–2029 refers to the RPJMN, RPJMD of West Java Province, RPJP of the City of Bandung, and the applicable RTRW.

The main focus is directed at fair, participatory and humane development, with the community as the center and actor of development.

The third agenda is the determination of the decision of the Bandung City DPRD regarding the DPRD's Main Ideas (Pokir) regarding the 2026 Bandung City Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD). The Pokir report is submitted in writing by the DPRD Secretary.

Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan in delivering his final opinion on the two draft regional regulations that have been ratified, expressed his high appreciation to all leaders and members of the Bandung City DPRD.

Farhan said that these two draft regional regulations are an important part of strengthening national character and better urban planning.

"This is a concrete form of legislative support for national values and efforts to maintain the aesthetics and economic potential of the advertising sector," he said.

He said that the RPJMD is the main direction of Bandung's development in the next five years in order to realize "Main Bandung", namely a superior, open, trustworthy, advanced and civilized Bandung.

"We must make this RPJMD a guide to answer the challenges of the city, including social inequality, potential regional conflicts such as Sukahaji and Dago Elos and organize the city better through advertising regulations and strengthening national values," said Farhan.

He also highlighted the still high rate of economic inequality in Bandung (gini ratio 0.46), which he said needed to be addressed seriously through equitable development and improving community welfare.

"The Bandung City Government is ready to synergize with the DPRD and all stakeholders to realize social justice, fair law enforcement, and inclusive economic growth," he said.
