Conclusion
The first image of Slum = Dirty = challenging to the planner and officers.
Since it is challenging, we have to challenge it to turn a dirty place into the Utopia
of the residents.
From Slum clearance to slum upgrading, there are several cases in India and
Indonesia to show us how successful of the slum upgrading.
Night itself does not show any shape or contour, and only in the context of the fire
was shining, and that one night will be shown with the contours of space
by Jane Jacobs.
Town planning, financial support and political support are the guarantee to the
slum upgrading to bring a sweet home to those slum dweller.
What we can do is: JUST DO IT and believe that IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING
