Monumen Sister City Forth Worth
On April 2, 1990, Mayor Ateng Wahyudi and the Mayor of Fort Worth, Bob Bolen, signed a Sister City agreement. The agreement was a suggestion from the Minister of Research and Technology at that time, BJ. Habibie. Habibie, who was the President Director of IPTN (Nusantara Aircraft Industry) at that time thought that a collaboration with the BELL Helicopter Factory in Fort Worth City would open new opportunities. This collaboration is the first Sister City collaboration between Indonesia and the United States. The cooperation between the two cities covers the fields of economy, education, training, arts, youth exchanges, and socio-culture. The monument is located at the intersection of Wastukencana and Purnawarman Street.
The monument has 3 legs that support a three-sided pyramid. On 3 sides of the pyramid are the emblem of Bandung City and City of Fort Worth. Also written on the sides are the text “KOTA SAHABAT”, “SISTER CITIES”, and “BANDUNG-FORT WORTH”.
Pada tanggal 2 April 1990 Wali Kotamadya Dati II Bandung Ateng Wahyudi dan Wali Kota Fort Worth Bob Bolen menandatangani perjanjian kerjasama. Perjanjian tersebut merupakan saran dari Menteri Riset dan Teknologi pada saat itu yaitu Prof. Dr. Ing. BJ. Habibie. Habibie yang merupakan Direktur Utama IPTN (Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara) pada saat itu merasa bisa bekerja sama dengan Pabrik Helikopter BELL di Kota Fort Worth. Kerjasama ini merupakan kerjasama Sister City pertama kali antara Indonesia dengan Amerika Serikat. Kerjasama kedua kota tersebut meliputi bidang ekonomi, pendidikan, pelatihan, kesenian, pertukaran pemuda, dan sosial budaya. Tugu Sister City tersebut berada di Persimpangan Wastukencana dan Jalan Purnawarman.
Tugu tersebut memiliki 3 buah kaki yang menopang sebuah limas dengan 3 sisi. Pada 3 sisi limas terdapat lambang Kota Bandung dan Kota Fort Worth. Di atasnya terdapat tulisan “KOTA SAHABAT”, “SISTER CITIES”, dan “BANDUNG-FORT WORTH”.
