He said Depok also had another interesting identity, which was as a blue city. “We actually had 31 lakes, but we can only see 24 now,” he said, adding that all the existing lakes had shrunk by more than 50 percent of their original total size.

Rizal said the situation signified that people did not appreciate or celebrate Depok’s identity. “When all cities move to become green and blue cities, we do the opposite. It means that we are killing our own identity,” he said.

Depok has seen a rapid development of housing complexes and commercial buildings.

Meanwhile, Didi Diarsa, the co-founder of co-working space Code Margonda, said that Depok could become a community city.

“Depok has 2 million people with lots of potential,” he said.

Didi, who has traveled to at least 100 cities in the world, said a developed city was usually dominated by young people. “When the creative industries grow, the city will also thrive,” he said.

Didi said around 280 communities from various backgrounds and fields were registered at the Code Margonda alone. “We have 400 activities in one year,” he said.

He said the activities had resulted in many achievements, including those that have been recognized internationally. It eventually emerged as an industry.

City-branding consultant M. Rahmat Yananda said the residents of Depok should identify their city first before deciding to brand it.

“People have known Depok as a satellite city, the spillover of Jakarta,” he said.

Rahmat criticized the Depok administration that uses the star fruit as the city’s icon. “Is it appropriate to say Depok as a star-fruit city while the contribution of agriculture to the city’s income is only 2.5 percent?” he said, adding that Depok was definitely an urban city, not a rural city.
