The epilog highlights the main thread of the edited volume, reflecting on the sustainability of Indonesian kampungs in the threat of urban expansion. Contextualizing the kampungs within “middling urbanism” (Kusno, 2023), the epilog argues that as a mediating space between the urban and the rural, kampungs have important role in supporting the urban economy, a fact that often overlooked in urban planning. In negotiating with the forces of urban expansion, the kampungs in Jakarta and in Nangapanda, East Nusa Tenggara, deal with diverse socio-environmental challenges through commoning initiatives to keep their kampungs viable and liveable.
