Yogyakarta as a heritage city, has been facing unprecedented development pressure to achieve sustainable development. This recent time, the approach of urban heritage conservation has been only using the method that neglects the economic sectors. Urban regeneration is one of a new approach for developing the conservation of economy and social dimensions to achieve sustainable cities.
Master Program in Urban and Regional Planning (MURP), Department of Architecture and Planning UGM in collaboration with KotaLab – City Lab in Indonesia with support from IAP, IAI Yogyakarta and The Government of Yogyakarta held the Workshop in Urban Regeneration. This workshop was designed to be a knowledge transfer process from France experiences on urban regeneration to Indonesia in the real case project, Kotabaru as the part of the heritage area in Yogyakarta. Through this workshop, experiences from France will be a benefit to Indonesian planners and architect with a real case study project
35 participants including students, urban practitioners, governments and lecturers are divided into 4 groups which work on certain area and designing proposed project based solution. The urban regeneration project design as the outcome will be presented at the public seminar in the end of the workshop.
