Abstract

Banjarmasin (Kalimantan) is famous for its floating markets and was once widely known as the Venice of the East Indies. Today, this river city is facing rapid modernization and road centred urbanization. How can Banjarmasin maintain its unique water-based identity and revitalize its historic riverside kampongs?
This was the focus of a HUL Quick Scan workshop organized by the municipality of Banjarmasin, Heritage Hands-On, IPB University, Trisakti University, and the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE). Following the principles of the HUL approach, students and young professionals from several cities in Indonesia as well as local stakeholders worked on proposals covering issues ranging from heritage preservation, public transport, housing and cultural tourism to waste management.
