Abstract

Kampung is a historical form of vernacular urbanism in Indonesia with similar typologies occurring across Southeast Asia. As an urban form, it plays a crucial role in absorbing rural–urban migration symptomatic of not only postcolonial urbanisation in the Global South, but also precolonial and colonial trade networks. Kampung’s adaptability in accommodating diverse aspirations and cultural influences makes it no less cosmopolitan than the formally planned cities it was situated in. This paper examines kampung’s urbanism in contemporary Indonesia and theorises it as a form of subaltern cosmopolitanism. It reveals the interlaces of a localised regional practice of bottom-up urbanism with subnational and transnational professional design networks on the fringe of Indonesia’s most rapidly “worlding” urban centre outside Java: Makassar. It reveals how urbanity is produced through a coalescence of sub-national diversity, mobile intellectual actors, and transnational network of design activism that spans the developing urban region of the Global South.

摘要

甘榜是印度尼西亚本土城市主义的一种历史形式，在整个东南亚都有类似的类型。作为一种城市形式，它在吸收农村-城市移民方面发挥着至关重要的作用，这不仅是全球南方后殖民城市化的症状，也是前殖民和殖民贸易网络的症状。甘榜在适应不同愿望和文化影响方面的适应性使其与它所在的正式规划的城市一样国际化。本文考察了当代印度尼西亚的甘榜城市主义，并将其理论化为底层世界主义的一种形式。它揭示了自下而上的城市化的本地化区域实践与地方和跨国专业设计网络在爪哇以外印度尼西亚最快速“世界化”城市中心边缘的交织：望加锡。
