MSD_Urban Design Thesis

This thesis is a co-design process that have involved a Transdisciplinary approach between urban designers, urban planners, Landscape architects and architects from different cultural backgrounds and International universities. This had created a strong backbone for delivering an integrated and multi-focus research which offer an spectrum of creative design process that had been considered in the final elaboration of this Urban Development Framework for contested sites of informal settlements in Mega Cities of SouthEast Asia.

The purpose is to create awareness and reflection about current governmental tools seeking to align with International best practices for Sustainable cities (C40) and to validate top-down urban development within vulnerable settlements in Indonesian riverscapes. The proposal advocates for a design activism with a bottom-up and people-oriented approach to include and legitimize Kampung collaborative practices within the existing governmental structure.

To be more precise, I will answer the following question:

How can we design a process for spatial negotiations in contested sites like kampung Braga, and mitigate gentrification from private sector with co-development participation?

With the amazing support from Senior Academics and Phd researches from Infur-hub (The University of Melbourne), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and The University of Stuttgart; and community groups, the project had been exposed to engaged discussions, in-depth reflections and changes that characterized the progress of this design adventure.

A sincere thank you to all the genuine people involved in this travelling studio: master colleagues, subject coordinators, design and planning professionals from Bandung and Stuttgart, and RW community groups. Finally, a special mention to my beloved family and friends for putting your trust in me, and others who still dream awake with an everyday purpose of life.

With love, Gian.

Formalizing the Informal: Understanding the Position of Informal Settlements and Slums in Sustainable Urbanization Policies and Strategies in Bandung, Indonesia Paul Jones Urban and Regional Planning, Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia; paul.r.jones@sydney.edu.au; Tel.: +62-293-516-069 Received: 13 June 2017; Accepted: 11 August 2017; Published: 14 August 2017

Abstract: Sustainable urbanization policies and strategies are posited as a major tool by which to achieve the sustainable development of growing towns and cities. A major challenge for sustainable urbanization policies and strategies is how to address the complexity of urbanization, especially the ongoing growth of informal settlements and slums in developing countries. It is acknowledged that those living their lives in such housing and settlements suffer greater levels of spatial, economic and social exclusion from the benefits of urbanization that other segments of the urban population. Using a case study approach, this paper examines the range of challenges associated with the growth of informal settlements and slums, seeking to understand how they are positioned via upgrading policies in city urbanization plans and strategies in Indonesia’s third largest city, Bandung. The research finds that there has been a shift in kampung and slum upgrading policy from in-situ solutions to vertical housing towers which appear incompatible in accommodating the way of life practiced in kampung adaptive urbanism contexts. The manner in which city governments manage informal settlements and slums by seeking to reshape and restructure the lifestyles of residents to align with formal market measures has a major impact on existing disadvantaged communities. The paper concludes with a call for greater leadership, political commitment and recognition of contextual responses when developing slum upgrading policies set within urbanization policies and strategies branded as sustainable.

1. Introduction A major theme emanating from the United Nations Habitat 111 conference in Quito, Ecuador, October 2016, was that sustainable urbanization is now globally acknowledged as one of the major transformative drivers of the 21st century. In 2015, it was estimated that approximately 54% of the world’s population lived in cities, and it is expected that some 70% of the world’s population will be residing in urban areas by 2050 [1]. Economic change, population growth, and social and cultural activities are all increasingly being concentrated in towns and cities as populations seek an urban lifestyle with commensurate levels of services, infrastructure, amenity and livability.

This transformation and continued evolution of the nature of urbanization brings with it many planning challenges in terms of an adequate and equitable supply of basic services, housing and land, employment, health, education, and protection of the natural environment [2]. Set within this context, a major Habitat 3 outcome was the adoption of the New Urban Agenda, a blueprint for achieving sustainable urbanization for the next twenty years. While the New Urban Agenda is non-binding agreement, it was formally adopted by 170 countries, thus setting out a path to realize a new urban vision on sustainable cities.

ABSTRACT Indonesian major cities are typically laced with rivers that are lined in part with urban kampungs and often subject to flooding. These kampungs play crucial roles in providing affordable housing as well as facilitating social mobility among the urban lower income groups whose labors and services remain essential in the operation of these cities and the everyday life of the upper-middle class populations. In recent years, urban environmental crises and the rise of image economy have subjected these largely hidden urban riverscapes to intersecting desires to erase the kampungs, control flooding, and construct a new green riverscape in a quest to become a modern and ‘green’ global city. Analyzing recent developments along Bandung’s Cikapundung River and Jakarta’s Ciliwung River, this paper considers the emerging image economy in these contexts as different types of design activism and engagements from professional design communities (architects and planners) are exercised, ranging from experimental housing projects, the visual reimagining of the kampung, creation of new public open spaces, and incremental architectural upgrading. The paper calls for a critical consideration of the silent but powerful transformative capacity of design and the embodied image economy. It will do so by highlighting how design activisms are effective in branding as much as in erasing, in revitalising as much as in disfiguring the socio spatial conditions and subjectivities whose existences are at stake.

Keywords: design activism, image economy, Indonesia, informal urbanism, kampung.

1. INTRODUCTION Analysing recent developments along Bandung’s Cikapundung River and Jakarta’s Ciliwung River, this paper considers how the emerging image economy, manifesting as different types of design activism and engagements from professional design communities (architects and planners), are exercised. These range from experimental housing projects, the visual reimagining of the kampung, creation of new public open spaces, and incremental architectural upgrading.

Contested Riverscapes in Indonesian Cities Urban Kampungs in the age of design activism and the image economy Amanda Achmadi, James Connor, Tahj Rosamarin, Sidh Sintusingha, 2019 Concepts: Design Activism, Image Economy, Urban Kampungs

There is a large spectrum in how the designers and activists are responding to the need to revitalise these urban river-scapes. Some realise the importance of river-scapes and their role in supplying infrastructure to existing residents, while others see them as opportunities to carve new public spaces along dense urban edges, often referencing the Western models of river-edge-asspectacle design. Most attempts to develop river edges, regardless of their differing mechanisms and outcomes fall under the guise of ‘design activism’- that presumes to contribute and improve urban conditions for Indonesian citizens. This paper highlights these differing dynamics of urban image economy in the riverscape developments in Bandung and Jakarta and their effects that range from forced to voluntary demolitions, from full to selective displacement, and in some cases, survival and affirmation of the urban poor’s right to the city.

Existing literature p-11

Definitions of informal urbanism In general, It refers to the outcome of autonomous urbanization from planned urban framework where socio-economic factors are bottom up approach.

(Sawira and Rahman, 2018) Autonomous village Its refereed to urban kampongs (Wertheim,1956) which has a high degree of autonomy known as desa autonomy. Where the population applies its own customary or adat law, administration, and justice.

(Reerink, 2015) Informal Slums Indonesian government classification of kampong uncontrolled settlements in Bandung. Define as precarious substandard buildings, a lack of adequate infrastructure, poor access to public services, and informal arrangement land tenure and land use.

(Departemen Pekerjaan Umum, 1999) Urban Resilience The ability of cities to manage and adapt to change including vulnerabilities. Informal settlements are dynamic hubs of resilience and adaptability used by disadvantage groups as normal response for managing and adjusting to change.

Concepts Place of Harmony It has a religious origin of Indigenous cosmic order about the social creation of space characterized by neighbourhood values. Kampongs set spatial relations of harmony which acknowledge space as willingness of living collective.

(Santoso, 2019) Kampung Heritage Colonial vision of the kampung as a site that integrates traditional Indonesian values and social-economic milieu of the inhabitants.

(Kusno,2000) Public Usable Space (P.U.S) It differs from formal public spaces, instead It refers in how, what and when community uses space as common. It extends from domestic to semi-public spaces like lane networks or vacant lots.

(Ley, 2019) Participatory Slum Upgrading Program (PSUP) UN-Habitat best practice strategy for global housing policy recommends to adopt a programmatic city wider approach to aim integration of Slum and informal settlements into formal planning systems that govern the city. These current practices spans modalities from in-situ upgrading, eviction, relocation and resettlement.

Bandung Municipal Plan 1933. Dutch colonization period recognized early “kampongs” settlements along the Cikapundung river and urban fringes. In black rectangle: Kampung Braga.

Key Policy aspects • Colonial official policy acknowledged kampungs as autonomous villages that contained traditional Indonesian values. (Kusno,2000) • Town planning focused on the provision of modern infrastructure without influencing the socio-economic circumstances of inhabitants.

• Kampungs improvement policy of Neo-colonization were characterized by ambiguity definitions of

p-16

slums that stigmatized traditional settlements as illegal land occupations.

• No state of governance since the independence had effectively took control over kampungs. Thus, policy regulation weren’t standardize, and suitable to those settlements to conform their policy.

(Reerink,2015)

MSD_Urban Design Thesis

Incremental processes of Land occupation • Migrant wave settled in Bandung densified existing kampungs and created new ones which had deteriorated their living conditions.

• According to Reerink (2015), there were 2 types of occupation strategies: Illegal invasion of Private land like Dutch houses and plantations yards which had absence of land owner currently living in.

Illegal occupation on Public land such as Municipal, Railways and Cikapundung river which didn’t have strict control over land. Thus, new occupants reclaimed land by narrowing course of the river.

• Tactics of invasion begun with scattered vacant lots, enclosed these plots, subdivided them, and lease or sold to future newcomers.

How we Collaborate?

Transdiciplinary approach The combined knowledge between disciplines created an opportunity to shift from multi- to trans-disciplinary method which crossovers and transgresses limits of one-side thinking.

According to Nissani (1997) it aims to facilitate creativity, faster identification of errors and fills communication gaps.

This frames a multi-scale of analysis which integrates high-skill mapping and observation techniques as key searching tools to discuss who, where, when, what and how we design processes.

Kampung (in) Braga Established settlements (RW 03,04, 07 & 08) sit in strategic locations like Braga St. are subject to constant threads of eviction and demolition from external urban pressures which interrupts the harmony link between livelihood and built form of traditional Indonesian settlements.

Visualizing the connection between social-spatial practices in Kampungs (self-organized settlements) and external pressures of private sector in Bandung raises concerns about future development scenarios. These neighborhood villages live in a traditional relation of harmony which are intangible links manifested in the spatial negotiation between informal and formal interactions within and beyond kampungs.

However, the urban pressure such as physical barriers, eviction and demolition represents a constant thread to the harmony link between livelihood and built form of these existing settlements.

MSD_Urban Design Thesis

The thesis aims to deliver a comprehensive Development Framework that offers an opportunity to set up new spatial arrangements through design guidelines to secure community benefits within future private development on vulnerable sites. The statement focus on answer the following questions: • How can we design a process for spatial negotiations in contested sites like kampung Braga, and mitigate gentrification from private sector with co-development participation?

• How we envision a harmony (balanced) organization and development within kampungs?

• What type of urban contributions from private development can benefit community spatial

nity-led development and a scale-up approach to improve spatial connectivity across settlements in the Cikapundung river.

This is achievable by delivering a building contribution package to new developers investing on vacant lots, or contested sites, where settled communities exists. The document provides clear built form guidelines, public realm and funding schemes, and community infrastructure supply to be applicable before the design stage, during and after the construction encouraging an affordable building density which offers a slight transformation of kampung’s low-rise and high-dense environments

10 year / Outcome

Strengthening social capital and place-attachment • Co-development built character.

• Hybrid form suits kampung’s socio-economic practices.

• A replicable affordable development model to other lots.

Incremental Co-Development p-73

This win-win approach balances a harmony development between the participation of private-public partnership and the alliance of community organizations (RW) to catalyst social capital in kampung’s livelihood network.

Rather than a fix architectural object, It designs processes for testing-locations, adaptable building structures and public usable space which suits the dynamic cycle and needs of the Kampung’s environment.

SCALE UP & SCALE OUT Development p-81

Part I Informal settlements in Indonesia have site specific attributes which are characterized by on-going contested processes from colonial period to present independent governance.

The resilience ability of their inhabitants to adapt to hostile changes have demonstrated an incremental knowledge-capacity to built a dense fine grain environment. This has implications to their social and economic activities over space. As an example, kampung Braga in Bandung evidences the following: • Recognition of Kampung heritage as places where Indonesian values are practice (Kusno,2000).

• Micro-level of organization groups benefit social cohesion and well-being of different agegroups.

• Incremental housing development of household have income growth based on economic participation.

• Ground-level has a complex layout of social-economic network that supports affordable living, working and playing on walking distance.

• Informal trading as major source of local economy which supports progress of formal business sectors.

• Spatial negotiation occurs constantly between residents in transitional shared spaces and vacant lands.

p-82

Spatial practices of government regulations and ordinances from post colonial to current adoption of international sustainable policy (New Urban Agenda, UN-Habitat) has occasioned detriments to kampung’s prosperity and well-being: • Imposing an economy image as city vision without kampungs life value recognition which is manifested in top down implementation of physical-oriented infrastructure by excluding an existing livelihood (Achmadi et al, 2015).

• City government and private sector are major decision makers in land sharing arrangements , public housing, community infrastructure, provision layout of commercial space in informal settlements (Jones, 2017).

Part II The urban pressure such as eviction and displacement generate faster alliance responses of kampung RWs seating in a strategic site-context such as Braga case. This required to advocate for the following: •Government authorities must recognized site-specific group of RWs as one broader identity within local government administration.

•Existing spatial arrangements between affected settlements with big developers create a precedence to write comprehensive urban policy and design guidelines to harmonize development.

•Simplify administration scheme below Kelurahan governance is a priority to strength community awareness and inform decision-making to all levels.

•External parties are powerful stakeholders to kampung development prosperity in form of building contribution and funding common facilities where its required.

•Affordable living rights are global cases to rewrite access to land and build development with people-oriented approach.

The Incremental co-development scenario highlights a direction to further investigation to analyse: •A balanced development opportunity which includes affected community concerns within the decision-making of spatial readjustment of land and building regulations.

MSD_Urban Design Thesis

•A soft scale-up and scale out approach allows a gradual process of living, working and playing improvement qualities to the urban fabric.

•Set up a win-win approach where government policy aligns a share vision for kampungs and allows external parties to play a contribution role.

•Suggest a trust-based model of co-development with more stakeholders involved in long-term facilitation of land affordability and to slightly adapt spaces for younger families to born, raise and stay.
