avoid bumping into them.

The deep block o urban grain inBandung is based upon a cluster
system o urban placement. A di-rect reection o social and eco-nomical hierarchy that can clearlybe seen in the scale and quality o
space.
The ormation o these clustersdate back to the Dutch planning
system that separates urban unc-tion. Commercial, Production, Ad-ministartion, etc.
The social and economical stratacomes hand in hand in the soci-
ety o Bandung. As the situation isheavily reected on the physicaldevelopment o the city. The citypossesses a clear demarcation otwo sub cities, that amalgamateinto one through a complex sym-biosis relationship. The city that
serves (villages) and the city that
is being served (city)
The ormation o the city o Band-ung dates back to the colonial ur-
ban planning. With reerence totheir own cities back home in Eu-rope, these cities are ormulated tomimic the working o the home cit-
ies o colonial power. Even thoughan urban plan was laid through, thecontinuation o the abric is heav-ily based upon local interpretation
and understanding o urban plan-ning. The continuation o the urbanabric is rather intuitive and spon-taneous inuenced by the pressureo living, local issues and economi-cal potentials.
Here in Bandung, the city is ratherragmented. It is not the naturalworking o the cities that somehowragmentized the city, but ratherthe ragmentation is designed insuch a way it is a means o control.Clustered.

When would the two cities nallyresolve its conicts? Or both citieswill continue to reside side by side
awkwardly?
What would happen to the evolu-tion o the villages in the uturewhen Bandung will become a majortourist attraction? With the city it-sel as a stage o its people, the at-
traction o Bandung will broaden,
not only limited to a discountedshopping experience and a volcan-ic mountain tour, but the city urbancondition will become worthy to be
experienced and be part o the ur-ban population. This new orm otourism product might be the cata-lyst that can bring Bandung or-ward and beyond graded trade.
During the colonial time, the villag-es has a Ducth master, now povertyreign the villages.
The villages lies in the belly o theeach city cluster . Thus compactionis unavoidable as population risesin the uture in the city. With therapid vertical development o thecity, the village is getting denser ata very ast rate. With an exceptional
population growth, both orms o
natural growth o oreign migration,Bandung has become very dense inmany parts o the cities, especiallyin the villages.
The uneven population distribu-tion in the city results in subpar liv-ing quality in the villages. With only9% open public space to serve theentire city, the population suersrom the lack o public interaction
and healthy social development.
