Kampung dalam Bandar: Cabaran Pembangunan Semula (Village in the City: The Redevelopment Challenge)
Abstract
Urban renewal is undertaken to improve both the residents’ livelihood and the area’s physical image . The role of local politics has become inevitable in ensuring that both of these goals are met in any urban renewal project. However, occasionally it happened that both objectives were not realized due to interference from external factors such as new wealth from land speculation. This article examines the issues of urban renewal in two Malay urban settlements, Kampung Bharu in Malaysia and Geylang Serai in Singapore, comparing and contrasting their development trajectories.
Keywords: Land speculation, local politics, urban renewal, urban settlements, village in the city

Politik tempatan selalunya memainkan peranan terpenting dalam memastikan projek pembangunan terpaksa demi menjaga, pertamanya keperluan pembangunan negara dan kedua masyarakat yang terlibat. Namun ada kalanya perancangan gagal memahami kedua objektif tersebut kerana dikaburi dengan elemen luaran seperti kemewahan dari nilai tanah yang tinggi. Artikel ini mengkaji proses pembangunan semula dua penempatan masyarakat Melayu, Kampung Bharu di Malaysia dan Geylang Serai di Singapura dengan melihat persamaan dan perbezaan di antaranya.
