Soft Infrastructure in Urban and Regional Planning Research: Analyzing Undergraduate Final Project Trends in Commemorating 101 Years of Engineering Education in Indonesia
Abstract
This paper describes the trend of the final project at the Undergraduate Urban and Regional Planning Program, Bandung Institute of Technology, as the first planning school in Asia to commemorate 101 years of engineering education in Indonesia. The scope of the study is an analysis of the final project at the graduate program level for the last eleven years from 2010 to 2021. Moreover, reviewing the factors that influence research trends in urban and regional planning. Hence, to show the role of soft infrastructure as the key to the implementation of the latest planning concepts through infrastructure development, and the use of technology to accelerate regional and urban development in a sustainable manner in Indonesiathis is based on the finding that most students like the theme of infrastructure and transportation as well as the emergence of new favorite themes about big data, smart cities, as well as social media. This paper also proves that the global theme of soft infrastructure is indeed in the realm of engineering, and the theme of the final project going forward needs to push the theme of governance, which is still less attractive, as well as business processes, all of which represent soft infrastructure in the context of urban and regional planning.

This chapter brings to light how urban planning serves the interests of the most powerful groups in society. Urban planning seems to be a major concern of local and national governments also for ideological reasons. The discussion shows how state ideologies influence city plans and how, conversely, cities reflect these ideologies. These ideologies make it clear who is in power. Similarly, political changes are reflected in new urban plans. The case of Indonesian cities illustrates this rhetoric of power. In pre-colonial towns, the rulers formed the symbolic heart of the city. In Dutch colonial towns, planning was based on the segregation of people from different ethnic backgrounds. After independence, ethnic boundaries were blurred, stressing that all people ideally should form one nation. Thus, planning ideals have changed with the emergence of new political leaders, reflecting the political climate of the time.
The crisis that modernist urban planning went through in the mid-seventies led to the appearance of different new formulae both in Europe and other parts of the Western world. Globalisation and the breakdown of the Eastern Bloc in the 1990s gave rise to a new approach in the discipline which, despite its obvious internationalisation, remained linked to important cultural traditions specific to each country. This chapter explains how after the ‘golden age of planning’ new cultural and environmental sensibilities emerged that gave rise to a more complex urbanism that dealt with the changes experienced by cities, paving the way for the rise of the strategic urban projects.
In our quest to determine the future needs of planning education, we asked three well-respected, long-time planning practitioners to provide their insights as to what planning students need to excel in their professional careers. These three individuals have all been honored with the designation of Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners (FAICP) for their work and achievements in the field of planning. This chapter presents these three professionals’ views on their own planning careers and how their experiences in hiring and working with young planners have influenced their views on what university planning programs should be offering, in order to graduate the best prepared planning professionals.
In this chapter I investigate how racial, cultural, class and gender equity issues change the ways that learning occurs in urban science classrooms. I explore how marginalized students of color utilize their cultural capital in order to survive and perform well in a small, high-performing high school science class. The roles that gender, ethnicity and language play in accessing and appropriating the power to act, and therefore change such a classroom, are explored.
This chapter highlights my experience as an immigrant science teacher during the school year of 2006–2007 in a low–academically performing middle school in New York City. I experienced didactic difficulties because I lacked the cultural awareness necessary to produce positive teaching and learning environment.

The use of technology in urban schools is multidimensional, layered in complexities yet too often it is viewed as one-dimensional, void of context, with cultural, social, political, economical and ideological forces that impact the use of technology by both students and teachers rarely taken into account.
