City of Bandung has classified Kampung Braga as the prioritised slum settlements, meaning that improvement is needed.

Although it does not specify the exact location, but there is a high plausibility that it is Kampung Braga. Based on the assessment from Wihadanto et al. (2017) who used the criteria from Government Ordinance No. 14/2016 regarding Implementation of Housing and Settlements, Kampung Braga scored 32 | Problem Analysis
88/100 for the slum level, with 100 is the most squalid. However, they only took two RWs for their observation which are RW4 and RW8. Although the two RWs could represent Kampung Braga in general, based on observation during the fieldwork, their condition did not portray very poor slum area. Therefore, the label or status of very poor slum area could threaten the existence of Kampung Braga because Kampung Braga is located in inner city where development pressure is high. Not to mention the rigid policy framework that relies on legality and illegality and the current evidence of demolition.
