“Symposium Formal-[In]formal”

In high density residential area like Central Jakarta, kampungs are often considered as slums. We might have heard the idea of “formalizing informal settlements.” Some said that the fact is, through informality, kampungs may have been independently and organically growing.

What do “formalizing informal settlements” means? The term “formal-informal” is being questioned in this sense. How do we consider formal-[in]formal?

This symposium is part of JKTWS2016. Together with experts, speakers and moderators from USA, Japan, and Indonesia, we will rethink and redefine again formal-[in]formal from different point of views and approaches.
