Cities in Indonesia are experiencing an opposing problem of urban transformation, especially Jakarta, where the progress of modernisation is complicated by the increasingly destitute kampung settlements. In economic terms, such transformation is readily identified by the presence of two modes of economy, that is, the capitalist mode of economy and the pre-capitalist mode of economy, or the 'bazaar economy'. As such constitute only a fragment of the social practices within which the Indonesian society is produced and reproduced. The study examines the dual image of Jakarta and concerns the triad of knowledge-power-space in which the society is produced and reproduced in the time-space dimension. Kampung as a locale of social practices, especially those of the low-income urban population, is investigated in this regard. Dominant social systems, which control allocative and authoritative resources, primarily govern the spatial formation of Jakarta. In these systems, planners and designers have played crucial roles in the structuration of society, and of space.
