Indonesia Logistics Hubs

This proposal explores the design of a network of small-scale decentralised community infrastructure hubs in Central Java, Indonesia. The project was carried out as a part of the Metro Java 2045 project in partnership with the Dynamic Cities Foundation and UTSEUS (Shanghai University). The project identified a series of critical node points in the peri-urban desakota landscape of Central Java where small-scale rural production connects to the national transit network. In contrast to capital intensive infrastructure upgrades, the project proposes a series of architectural scale logistics hubs that allow rural enterprise to access global markets. As an outcome the project produced a series of design prototypes that could be implemented in towns and cities across Indonesia.
