Corruption Investigation in Bandung's Smart City Project

The implementation of smart city initiatives in Indonesia faces significant challenges, particularly in the area of corruption and governance. The Bandung Smart City project, which has been the subject of a corruption investigation by the Corruption Eradication Commission, serves as a cautionary tale for other cities aiming to implement similar projects (Sunindyo et al., 2013) (Sutriadi, 2018).
Corruption in Indonesia is a widespread and systemic issue, with a high number of regional heads involved in corruption cases (Risky et al., 2020).
