Description

Freek Colombijn delves into the intricate relationship between urban space and housing in Indonesia during a pivotal era of decolonization from 1930 to 1960. He explores how political shifts and social transformations shaped the landscape of Indonesian cities, driving both the creation and destruction of communities.

Through a meticulous analysis, Colombijn highlights the complexities of urban development and the impact of colonial legacies on contemporary city life. His insights reveal the dynamics of power and resistance as Indonesians navigated a changing environment, making the work an essential read for those interested in urban studies and post-colonial theory.
