Her interest in the resilience of future cities in the face of crisis has inspired Uly to develop her research. In the PhD research project, Uly focused on observing investment dynamics in cities in Indonesia during the Covid-19 Pandemic, especially related to shifts in spatial concentration and actors' reactions in investment decisions.
Thesis: Investment in Time of Pandemic: Spatial Patterns and Actor Responses in Re-shaping Indonesian Cities
Investment flows have been acknowledged as a significant driver of urban transformation in a hyper globalized environment. On a global level, it can be reflected through the formation of hierarchies between the world's cities. The critical role of investment is also portrayed at the regional level through changes in periphery regions and the establishment of polycentric urban structures. While at the city level, investment changes the urban landscape through the construction of settlements, retail facilities, hotels, and other public facilities.
However, the rapid changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted various life elements, including investment flows. Before the pandemic, several studies showed capital flows were linked to human mobility. Increased human mobility has encouraged more massive integration and interdependence by expanding cross-border investment flows, while strong investment flows will attract labor flow, either directly or indirectly. In this uncertain situation, the pandemic has limited human mobility extremely. It provides an important part: the extent to which the pattern of investment flows has changed and whether to follow the pattern of human mobility or give a different pattern considering the investment character that can still flow without physical interaction. The dynamics become complex by looking at actors involved in investing, both investors and governments. The pandemic setting provides fear and uncertainty for them to influence investment decisions in the city during pandemic times. It gives the background of this research by focusing on changes in city investment flows and the response between actors that will affect it. Therefore, this study will elaborate on two big questions, namely (1) the extent to which pandemics change investment patterns and (2) how investors' and governments' responses to pandemics can explain differences in investment flows in cities.
This research is expected to make theoretical contributions, not only a new perspective on urban functioning but also a perspective on spatial change through investment in developing countries and decision-making processes related to investment during the pandemic. Then in practice, this research will also contribute to providing input to the government and local governments in mitigating changes in investment decisions on investment attractiveness in the city. It will also contribute to the industry on the extent of government institutions' support for institutions to minimize the impact on businesses.
