We plan to name it and make it official while introducing to Bandung citizen through events held in other city parks," answered Nissa Aulia (Architecture 2007), RujaKota event coordinator, when she was asked what the next plan is from RujaKota. Intervention in city park and public open space in Bandung is the main purpose of RujaKota. For that, the nameless giant green balloon will be the media to attract visitors.
