This article discusses urbanization and the crisis of social solidarity in Jakarta: a multidisciplinary analysis of the Tanah Abang and Kampung Melayu areas. Given that social phenomena in Jakarta show a rapid rate of urbanization, this has created significant social pressure, threatening traditional social cohesion and triggering conflicts over the use of urban space. This phenomenon is the main background of this study. The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth how the process of urbanization erodes social solidarity and gives rise to spatial conflicts, using a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on case studies in the Tanah Abang and Kampung Melayu areas. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review (library research) that analyzes various relevant sources descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study show that urbanization does not necessarily eliminate social solidarity, but rather transforms it into a complex mosaic. In Tanah Abang, which is dominated by economic competition, fragmented mechanical solidarity based on groups has emerged. Conversely, in Kampung Melayu, the threat of eviction due to state development projects has actually strengthened defensive mechanical solidarity among residents. Thus, the crisis of solidarity in Jakarta is more accurately understood as a crisis of integration, in which various forms of solidarity have failed to be accommodated by an inclusive urban order.
