One of the big laps was to do a quite progressive for the size of the cities in Java: he was able to relocate the junk dealer in the Garden of Banjarsari almost without turbulence to revitalize the functions of the open green land, giving the opportunity for investors to consider about performing the public interest, perform routine and open direct communications (broadcast by a local television) with the community. Balekambang Park was abandoned by its organizer, he made it a public park. Jokowi also did not hesitate to dismiss the investors who do not agree with the principle of leadership. As a follow-up of branding Surakarta, he also filed Surakarta to become a member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities and approved in 2006. The pace continued with the success of Surakarta to host the organization's conference in October 2008.
