Abstract: The purpose of the present article is to provide a brief understanding of the challenges Jakarta and Buenos Aires are facing under the realm of the rapid social and spatial transformations dictated by the globalizing forces. The trajectory of this writing will as such, attempt to examine how state mediates these forces and to what extent they affect the physical environments of the two major cities by exploring the governmental approach to the city management and regulations of the water supply infrastructure and land use as key issues of development. Subsequently, it will try to evaluate the dynamics of the shaped environments resulted from the contact with the Western societies and discuss the complexities of the planning processes in these colonial cities.
