Tactical Urbanism: Visual Place-making in Kartini Sub-district, Sawah Besar, Jakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

Local government infrastructure plays an essential role in the densely populated settlement. The Kartini Sub-district serves as a communication platform to disseminate information and carry out any other community empowerment program. However, the condition of these infrastructures appears to be inadequate, which subsequently does not attract the interest of locals. Through a descriptive-analysis method based on images, data acquired, and literature study, this paper proposes tactical urbanism as an alternative to support government programs in empowering its residents by amplifying the presence of local government infrastructures. This paper explores the importance of tactical urbanism in the form of visual place-making in each existing infrastructure provided by local government, particularly in densely populated settlement Kartini Sub-district.
