IT'S WRAPPED! A five-day workshop for our collaborative project in Jakarta deepened our understanding of how Jakarta coastal residents process transformation in the face of climate change impacts. Is Jakarta sinking? Well, it isn't very easy. From 10 to 14 July, we uncovered new insights into climate adaptation within transdisciplinary contexts that show the many aspects that are put into the situation we face. Especially from a scientific perspective, practice models are contesting for sustainable and socially integrated climate adaptation. Now is the time for Haratua Zosran's artistic approach to play into perspective. There will be much discussion and collaboration with Haratua while he continues his residency at one Jakarta coastal community, Kampung Susun Akuarium. Thanks to Jan-Philipp Possmann, Teresa Erbach, Elisa Sutanudjaja, Dian Tri Irawaty, Ph.D., Hilke Marit Berger, Jessica Fritz, City Science Lab, Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS), and all Rujak Center for Urban Studies partners that involved in Artist in Residence (AIR) Program JAKARTA SINKING (?)(!)

Thank you, JP! It was a pleasure to finally meet you and the team in person.

Today we had the privilege of taking Dian Tri Irawaty, Ph.D. from the Rujak Center for Urban Studies (Indonesia's first ever housing cooperative) to meet St Clements (London's first ever Community Land Trust). We discussed legal models and how its important to bring people from communities together. It was agreed that regardless of whether you are from Jakarta's kampungs or the expensive estates of London, well-being is greatly improved by using collective spaces.

🏘️ Collaborative Planning: 1001 Ways to Provide Affordable Housing in Crowded Urban Areas 🏘️ 🎏 Some of you may have forgotten about the struggles of Kampung Akuarium residents to stay in their homeland and secure their right to live peacefully. Recently, Kampung Bayam residents have been facing a similar crisis, even being forced to leave their flats. This not only highlights complex land rights issues but also threatens their livelihoods. 👨👩👧👦 A decent, healthy, and livable settlement with proper security is a basic need for everyone. In this fast-paced city development, space is shrinking while the number of people and activities in the city is growing. We need more than seven-story public housing that frequently targets the wrong group of people and ends up with countless empty units. In other words, we must consider the social aspects as well as the physical aspects. 🔄Collaborative planning is a strategic approach that emphasizes a participatory process where everyone is involved in every step. Local governments, experts, the private sector, and residents all play a role in shaping future housing developments that meet everyone’s needs. Innovative strategies will emerge to incorporate different perspectives and resources to find the best alternative solutions for ensuring sustainable communities. Vertical housing is crucial to accommodate overcrowded urban areas. 🔎In Batch 12 of "Kelas Perencanaan Bersama" held by Rujak Center for Urban Studies, I learned a lot about creative ways to address such problems. We covered general issues in Kampung Kota, agrarian reform, related policies, financing, institutional frameworks, collaborative planning strategies, zoning policies, and more. Besides, I had the opportunity to take a walking tour of Kampung Susun Akuarium with the other participants. As a final task, we conducted a public presentation on our group assignment using Kampung Rawa and other Settlements in Jakarta that have the same characteristics, as a case study. At this time, the residents of each Kampung came to give feedback on the Public Presentation. Kudos to all Rujak Center for Urban Studies mentors and team! Especially Mrs. Elisa Sutanudjaja as Kampung Rawa mentors herself and helps the team to keep on track! I give my heartfelt thanks to Rujak Center for Urban Studies for giving us this opportunity on their 14th anniversary! 👤 Anyway, alongside the residents' eagerness, one thing I always keep in mind from this training is that 'Political Will' plays a crucial role in making collaborative planning successful. Kampung Susun Akuarium has demonstrated the success of collaborative planning despite the challenges. Once again, this has been an exciting experience for me! To many more discussions on settlement planning and how to provide decent housing for all people, I hope this opportunity comes to me again! 👀 looking forward to meeting with many more amazing people! #collaborativeplanning #affordablehousing
