Jakarta’s rapid expansion has displaced kampung residents into remote housing lacking infrastructure and markets, erasing both shelter and livelihoods.

This project rethinks slum redevelopment through the lens of social housing as a community economy. The site, a charity school within a dense informal settlement, currently relies on an adjacent parking lot for revenue. We aim to transforms this underutilized space into a hybrid complex integrating affordable rental units, a free market for street vendors, and a parking facility, thereby sustaining both the school’s operation and the livelihoods of local residents.

By embedding small-scale family retail and vendors, shared infrastructures, and flexible public spaces into the housing framework, I explores a model of community-led urbanism—a form of redevelopment that preserves informal economies, enhances social autonomy, and reimagines housing as the foundation of a sustainable urban commons.
