Thrilled to be awarded the Herb Feith Academic Boost Award 2023—an initiative to foster students' enthusiasm for addressing social and environmental justice issues in Indonesia in their works. My winning analytical essay, "Kampung Melayu: Urban Design Solutions to Public Health Risks of Water and Air Pollution," highlights the harsh living conditions impacting public health, especially among vulnerable groups. Proposing urban design interventions, along with participatory planning, regional collaboration, and effective risk communication, I aim to foster healthier urban communities in Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta.
