Lebak Siliwangi is located within the Coblong District and its strategic location presents many benefits such as proximity to shopping, transport and jobs. Originally a Dutch planned botanical garden, Lebak Siliwangi was reclaimed following WWII and converted into rice paddies. The Cikapundung River tracing one side of the kampung plays an equal role in establishing boundaries for expansion. From 1945 onwards, Lebak Siliwangi has transformed through incremental subdivision, expansion and adaptation into a dynamic and thriving informal settlement. The people of Lebak Siliwangi are mostly low income earners and their families, but the close proximity to ITB (Institute Technology of Bandung) has seen an influx of university students through the development of boarding houses.

Source: Studio Documentary, 2019 Transformation of Lebak Siliwangi from rice paddies to the complex informal settlement is the result of various natural and political elements. The driving factors being the natural topography and Cikapundung river that provides the platform for the formation of rice paddies. This not only attracted the communities but also served as the source of their work and income. With the expansion of communities these rice fields guided the evolving block patterns and alleyways. The other factors being the inefficiency in planning system and constant immigration, that affected the urban grain of the area.
