| Summary: | Significant architectural involvement in programs to improve urban slums in
Southeast Asian cities has emerged since the late 2000s. Re-formulation of the
architect profession in development is needed, because less attention is given to the
practice of architects for low-income people. In the case of Indonesia, the
involvement was driven by the Indonesian Architects Association (IAI). This
involvement was included in the program to increase the urban slum called
‘Kampung Tematik’ which was carried out by the Semarang City Government. The
program aims to improve the quality of life of the urban poor, improve basic
housing infrastructure and encourage the local economy as an influence of regional
development. This study aims to position the role of architects in the practice of
increasing slum areas, known as community architects. Collaborative planning
theory is used as a lens of analysis to explore how institutions interact and engage
with other actors, impose their roles in the negotiation process and build
participation in collaborative processes. Thus, through literature studies and case
studies there is a potential for the development of architectural professions through
collaboration with the government in policies and programs to improve urban
slums in the Indonesian context. |
