Kelurahan Cibangkong is a residential area with high desity population. The area is developed horizontally, caused confiscated land and minimizes the existence of open spaces. Due to land use that is below its capacity, these environmental conditions over time result in a deterioration in physical quality which reduces the area’s vitality. Degradation of the environment has an impact on people's socioeconomic circumstances. The growing population level increases the need for housing, but the local community's low purchasing power —the majority of residents earn modest wages— does not keep pace. This demonstrates the critical need for local affordable housing. In order to improve the carrying capacity of the land and the vitality of the area, efforts are being made to address this condition through urban renewal. To maximize land usage and increase the area's vitality, the land is being redeveloped using the concept of vertical residential development. This strategy was created to avoid evictions while preserving the population by giving the neighborhood access to housing and making it possible to accommodate more residents. The area design idea involves multifunctional development, with a 70 to 25 to 5 ratio of function development for housing, commercials, and public services. The goal of the multifunctional designation is to make the region accessible 24 hours a day, and to make it possible to get to nearby activities on foot to cut down on the usage of vehicles for mobility. The provision of commercial facilities works in harmony with activities in the neighborhood to develop the regional economy. Local roadways were widened into collector roads to facilitate vehicle access and people mobility to each function of the building. Vertical development in the region also strives to maximize open space, with 60% of the area being green open spaces, which serves as a public space and catchment area in order to build a sustainable residential.
