Kampung Braga is classified as inner city kampung which has been planned since 1933, located in Braga Quarter and has existed since 19th century (Wihadanto et al., 2017). Braga Quarter has become one of the most prominent areas in Bandung since the colonisation. In the beginning of the 20th century, urban renewal program was executed responding to the growth of the city. In 1930s, new infrastructure was erected to improve the urban environment quality in Braga marked by art deco and modern architecture. As a result, in 1940s, Braga Street was transformed into high-end shopping street and used as the European’s community centre (Martokusumo, 2002) The Dutch placed Kampung Braga along Cikapundung River as the backstage of colonial and commercial buildings. As development in Braga expanded, Kampung Braga has shrunk and been encroached by private development.
