MOTIVATION Brief history The planning of Bandung started in 1800s to function as a capital city of the province, centre of the community, and main transit city of the railway system in West Java.1 The city grew uncontrolled until 1900s the government realised the importance of city planning, hence promoted the city status from secondary to primary city. In 1920, an airport was built in the city. Followed by the Japan
Fig A2. Bandung, as seen from South towards North (2018)
invasion and independence war, the city continued to grow until now. The existence of the airport restricted the urban vertical growth (Fig A2) and it is currently planned to be moved out of the city.

Current city planning One of the goals of the current planning of Bandung is to improve the city quality and efficiency through development of urban infrastructure and mobility (translated).1 The immediate action by the government is to plan an MRT (Mass rapid transit) network that would reduce traffic congestion and needs for cars in specific areas. After the MRTs are placed, the development would start around the stations. This approach is known as TOD (Transit Oriented Development) approach. The city life quality would involve expansion and spread of the green areas too which currently is diminishing. (Fig A3)
City for people “Neither the city planners nor the traffic planners put city space and city life high on their agenda, and for years there was hardly any knowledge about how physical structures influence human behavior." Jan Gehl, a Danish urban planner and architect, in his book, Cities for People. He stressed that changes that should take place should be based on the existing people of the city, learn the behaviour then proposed a design that would empower the people. The current plan of the MRT network and its TOD development are based on geographical reach. What if, the MRT network is designed based on the existing city density and demographic spread? Can TOD be based on this too? Does the city idea "for people and by its people" applied in the urban planning scale?

OBJECTIVE Bottom-up design approach Bottom-up developement would be a more democratic solution for the people. The predicted urban form will be a proposal, an alternative answer that fits a city where changes are slow. The objective is to develop an algorithm that allows the current arrangement of urban fabric to transform itself towards an achievable goal / direction within a desired time step. For instance, one of the goals could be an increase in green spaces as a replacement for slum areas near the water body within a span of 20 years. On a realistic comparison, we can take Singapore as a green growth reference (fig A4). 1986

Urban planning toolkit The study would produce a series of urban planning toolkit that would help in evaluation of the current condition, propose a change to fit a specific design goal, and show how the condition will be improved. In the long run and a more stable environment, architects and urban planners can use it in various urban scale and different places on Earth. The outline of the workaround is illustrated in figure A5.

What if UAM works The final goal of the study is to investigate an ideal urban form by using the above tool if Urban Air Mobility (UAM) system can be implemented as replacement for the city mass rapid transport. The drone system is one of the emerging engineering technology. It is rapidly growing and improvements are studied to stabilize its use and safety as public transport. In order to do that, certain parameters must be created to distinguish the requirements that UAM will need as compared to the MRT train systems. The tool will be equipped to allow such changes, in terms of its noise / privacy distance from the transportation network to residential areas.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The primary purpose of the research is to provide a goaloriented agent based urban simulation tool. An evaluation criteria was introduced for the current or proposed urban arrangement to measure the effectiveness of the citizens to navigate between parts of the city. The simulation would be based on transit oriented development (TOD) of what type of mass urban transportation would be available. The agents are representation of activities and number of people occupying the area. The parameters, behavior, and growth factor are set based on historical data. The simulation goals are derived from the city's long term plan for the land use allocation. In this study, Bandung is used as a test case; a developing city which currently has no mass rapid transport system. The first step is to propose a mass transportation system, which will be the basis for TOD based simulation The evaluation tool will be used to calculate the effectiveness of the options of assigning the MRT transit stations. The calculation takes the density, topography, and existing urban form. This bottom up approach is chosen to maintain the local qualities, less disruptive to the existing urban fabric, hence a more acceptable approach for the citizen. The predicted model will be readjusted to fit into he current main streets and fixed areas. The resulting agents will direct the land use allocation and assigning of the FAR of the parametric buildings generation inside the area covered by the agent. The computed result, together with city's historical and cultural values give directions and main concept of the Bandung 2118 master planning.

INTRODUCTION
CITY AND MOBILITY Car invasion Major cities that emerged during modern era were designed to accomodate cars as the citizens' mains mode of transportation. Personal cars were the pinnacle of the social status; even until today. A city that relies heavily on cars as means of urban transportation has its own consequences on its public life. These cities were not designed on human's scale in terms of size and speed. Design of the city was to fit with cars in context (figure B1.) Modern cities have 6 - 8 car lanes roads that divides the cities. Rather than to unite the population, the roads separate them. Gehl's mentioned in his book, "If you make more roads, you will have more traffic." While the goal of these roads is to allow rapid movement of the pedestrian, the result is often the opposite in city where cars regulation is lacking.

INTRODUCTION
People's oriented city On average, people move from place to another slowly, about 5 km per hour. At this speed, what human sees and notice are different than those inside 60 km per hour vehicles. This stark difference results in how the cities are designed and where people would spend their time. People's oriented city would be defined as a city that is designed to meet the need of its people; a liveable city where the citizens are active physically and socially. For this reason, the function of roads as social spaces should be reactivated. Daily commute from home to work, to ammenities should be comfortable and encouraging various optional activites in between. Therfore, to fulfill this social goal, planning of the land use must be done carefully.

INTRODUCTION
BANDUNG Topography The city is located in the middle of the island. Most area is flat except some towards the North. Its location is surrounded by mountains which are visible from any area in the town. The city is sitting on an area which archeologists describe as a pre-historic lake, ranging about 800m to 1000m above sea level.

INTRODUCTION
Climate The prevailing wind comes from South-south east direction, takes about 15% of the annual wind. This occurs as the result of the geographical location; it is surrounded by mountains except on its North-West and mountain ridge on its North. Very little wind comes from North. Generally, the wind are pretty calm, less than 5 m/s. Bandung's temperature provides a nice environment for outdoor activities. The city was known as city of flowers back in 1980s, because of its cool climate all year round; making it feels like spring season everytime. Average daytime temperature is about 27o C, daily average is 23.2o C, and night time average is 18.9o C. N

INTRODUCTION
Demographics Unlike Singapore, the population is mostly made up by locals. There's a some level of diversity because many universities in Bandung are popular destinations from people from other islands, as well other nationalities. It is, however, twice as dense as Singapore. For the past decade, the growth is reaching its plateau, with almost 50:50 ratio between male and female. 14.3% of the current population has a degree.

INTRODUCTION
Understanding the grid The current road network is a centralised system where in the city centre there is an intercity main train station and airport at the North West. There is no inner city highway system, nor any mass rapid transport network. All roads allow all kinds of vehicles on road, and mostly have parking areas on both sides of the roads. The main roads form layers of rings around the city center, the width can be up to 8 car lanes. The small roads ranges from 2 to 4 lanes width, mostly connecting the landed residential areas to the main road networks.

INTRODUCTION
Land use The current land use are mostly residential, the commercial area is focussed in the middle of the city and along the major roads. Intercity train station located in the middle of the city, near to the government institutions. Green areas spread mostly at the North and in various areas of the city as parks or city's green conservation areas. Industrial facilities such as factories, warehouses, are located nearer to the Southern city borders while educational institutions are mostly spread towards the North.

INTRODUCTION
Major potentials 2018
Context: Mountain rings
Organisation: Centralised planning
Tropical, yet provide great climate for outdoor activities, conducive topography for cycling in most areas. With a carefully planned vertical growth, the city residences can enjoy amazing views 360o. This could be an attractive city's identity for its citizen and potential tourists.
Way finding is easier with centralised road network, as compared to regular grid cities. Allow special priviledges for the central developement. Rapid and efficient movement from center space to outside..
Building of 20 storeys or more
Natural resources: Extensive rivers
Built environment: Mostly flat
Possible development for green - blue public facilities along the existing rivers, a major improvement for a sustainable future city. Clean rivers can function as flood buffer system for flood risk areas in Bandung.
Allow fresh start for a new vertical growth. More adaptable for new public mass transport system to be implemented as compared to a developed vertical city such as Jakarta.

Major challenges 2018 To nearest angkot's network <5 mins walk <5 mins cycle <10 mins cycle >15 mins cycle
PC: PR Infrastructure: Public transport's lack of reach
Organisation: Lack of street diversity
The current public transport that is popular is about a car size, known as Angkot. Most of the citizen have to rely on personal motorised way to get from home to the nearest angkot pickup location. This result in heavy reliance on personal cars, motorcycle, or online service.
Public and pedestrian walking are occupied by parking cars. Street shops are taking over pedestrian spaces everywhere. Lack of access for culturally / historically major streets.

PC: Merdeka Natural resources: Unintegrated river front
Built environment: Dense and difficult access
Monotonous function of the rivers; for drainage purposes. Lack of pedestrian crossing links. Lack of water-related activities.
Built area / land owned ratio of most residential spaces is close to 1:1. One lane width roads which limit heavily the access into the major residential complex.

METHODOLOGY
GENERAL OUTLINE Bandung in 2050, 2075, 2118 The main objective is to visualise the future urban form of Bandung, derived from the existing arrangemenrt of road networks, mass public transportation system, and demographic spread and density. At the moment, there is no main mass rapid transportation system in Bandung. The government has a plan to develop two MRT networks that comes across North to South and East to West. The MRT planning, however, was done based on geographical cover of the city. The first phase of the study would find an optimal placement of the mass public transportation network that fits Bandung. The second and third phase will produce a suggested urban form with MRT trains and example of using the agents as a guide for master planning the ideal city. The outline of the research is illustrated as below.

Network evaluation The evaluation would consider the number of stations, then test these number of points, considering points of interests and topography. The output would be the best average of time taken from each of the location to the nearest MRT station. The time travel time produced would be displaying the map, coloured with time needed. Similar works have been done by Mapumental, figure 23, where the API displays how far a person can travel with public transportation from any point in map.

METHODOLOGY
PHASE 2 The second step is to simulate the city to form its owwn optimised urban form for a period of time. The current land use will be interpreted as grid maps, which each grid has its own types and properties; for instance, a 4 sqkm grid [area] of slum region [area type], with density of 12000 people in it [density]. Every year, ideally total slum area is expected to reduce about 5% [rules], making a modern residential area denser [rules]. The elaboration of the workaround is shown in the next page. Transit Oriented Development Transit-Oriented Developments are a mix of housing, retail and/or commercial areas and amenities within walking distance of public transportation. TransitOriented Developments (TOD’s) are established within 400 – 800 meters walking distance of public transit with areas near transit increasing in density. TOD’s conserve land, encourage walking and bicycling, while reducing infrastructure costs and energy consumption. In Singapore, this approach has been implemented in various locations. Areas such as Jurong West, Yishun, or Tampines (figure 24) are developed this way, where town activites and commerce centres are centralised near the MRT station.

METHODOLOGY
PHASE 3 The last stage of the urban planning tool research is to provide an example of application in using the agents to inform the building design and function. Parametric Development One of the many different ways of interpreting the agents is through using parametric development of the roads and agents. The diagram on the right displays the workflow of how the agents can be transformed into building massings. The user would select an area of interest (in terms of agents) and the solver would identify buildable areas where new development of roads will be made depending on the minimal area needed by the government for new roads. The generation of building blocks, parcels, and certain building forms (depending on the functions) are set to fit the desired form. For instance, commercial building would occupy larger footprint as compared to the residential buildings. Depending on the land parcel size, specific types of high-rise development may be assigned to provide variety on the housing typologies. For this phase, a more in-depth discussion regarding Bandung's values and social changes in the future will be presented. This part, however, would not be done parametrically, but rather a non-quantifiable evaluation of the city's qualities and goals. These values would affect how the city would be designed and programmed. The parametric visualization would help in displaying the movement of people and functions and these suggestions are feasible economically optimised suggestions on urban function and spread.

TRANSIT ORIENTED PLANNING Bandung and Its Current Development Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has not been implemented in the current planning. Bandung's development follows what it is known as Transit Adjacent Developement or TAD. TAD is development of ammenities along public transport routes. This usually fits a city where there is plenty of public transport pickup points or personal cars as main transportation system. It can be seen by the surface parking dominance along the streets, lack of pedestrian or bicycle access routes. In early city stage development, TAD approach provides diversity in landscaping the urban look. However, as the city grows and area becomes denser, TAD built city often face numerous hours of traffic jams and focus of the streetscapes are designed for people in the cars; large signboards, tall and lack of building details. For developing cities, TOD is a good solution in promoting active citizens and car-less city.

PHASE 1 -STATION EVALUATION
TOD vs TAD The contrast of the pedestrian friendliness between TAD and TOD areas can be noticed by the two images below. The dependency on personal mobility devices is higher in TAD, while TAD promotes walking around transit areas, approximately about less than 15 minutes walking duration from station to desired ammenities. The land use in the TOD is more vertical, clustered, and therefore higher density. TAD lacks of any functional connectivity to transit, if there is any; whether in terms of land-use composition, means of station access, or site design. *

Bandung's Current Public Transport The two current major public transport in Bandung are city pickup (angkot) and buses. Both systems have routes and mostly cover the major roads well across the city. The main problem is both transportation system are allowed to pick and drop passengers anywhere. Often, they will wait on the side of the road while waiting for people and initiate traffic jams. There has been an effort by the governments to place pick / drop points but this is often ignored by the drivers and citizens. The culture of pick / drop anywhere along the route has been rooted in the community since the beginning.

PHASE 1 -STATION EVALUATION
UNDERSTANDING THE UNITS A. Geographical Distance (m) Considering all possible path, the colour of the grid represents the shortest distance for a person to travel to nearest station with land public transport. The person, however, has to walk/cycle to the nearest pick up point along the main road.
Fig D6. Shortest route geographically
B. Relative Time (RT) The speed that the public transport travel on a aroad is different depending many factor, in this case, wider road is assumed for a faster travelling time and vice versa. The result of differentiation in road types is varying travelling period, for this research is set as relative time, indication of distance over various speed depending of the roadtype.
Fig D7. Relative time needed for the fastest route
Page 26 of 104
PHASE 1 -STATION EVALUATION
C. Relative time - people / area (RTP/m2) The SI unit for energy is kg m2/s2. In this case, it describes the effort for people with certain acceleration to travel specific distance. Therefore, the relative time people per area is an energy density indication of how much energy is required in a specific area. This provides a sense of priority in urban planning; grid with higher density of people need to be closer to the transit station.
Fig D8. Cumulative effort per area
D. Topography - relative time - people / area (RTP/m2) This unit describes a more intimate look at the people in an area. The calculation takes a closer look at the walking/cycling distance from a grid to the closest main road and takes the topography into calculation. People who would need to travel up/downhill to reach the station will need to spend more effort (higher energy required).

LOGIC AND PARAMETERS Network Evaluation The workaround of the first phase is shown in the figure 22. First simulation is to evaluate the existing road network. The following figures illustrate a sample test case with various parameters. The current goal is to evaluate the efficiency in getting to specific train station(s) by using land transport system (bus, cycle, or walking), by considering the number of stations, road type, and terrain. This evaluation system will be the basis for finding the optimal locations / station numbers in Bandung.

Grid size The grid size control the number of people / area. The obtained data from the government website is number people for specific district (figure 32). Therefore the sampling number can be divided into the grid density to obtain a number people for specific area.

Parameters
This section shows the basic calculation without altering any values / factors into the shortest route calculation. The four images below illustrate the distance a person need to travel from any point in the map to the nearest station. The important observation is that, the entry access for the highway is only located at four specific points, which explains the areas along the highway to take longer distances compared to other routes.. The cases below are presented such the stations are aligned to the entry of the highways.

B. Road weight factor
Parameters
The road weight is a variable that indicates the speed of the public bus to travel in different types of roads. The assumption here, bus stop is located every 100 m and people can access it from all types of roads except the highway. The effect of this can be seen in the case of 2 stations where at the entrances of the highway which are far from stations, relative time (RT) is faster than the areas geographically. Also, time travelled to nearest station is significantly improved for each addition of station.

Density and topography For the proof of concept, a random density map is created. To make understanding of the impact of the population density, a radial density is designed with varying number of people per grid from 100 to 1000 people. The contour is also placed as indicator of how the people would reach the road where the buses will transit. The access will only available for non-highway roads, and coloured by the how the people would go up / down to reach the roads or stay on the same ground elevation.

Parameters
The calculation displays a representative of an area of total relative time based on the number of people who occupy the grid; relative time people (RTP). Almost, this can be related to power distribution map; if power is defined as amount of energy spent per unit time by human to reach the nearest station. Interesting observation in case with two stations below, where the RTP is lower near the other two entries of the highway system. Another observation, at areas where stations can be accessed directly by walking, the RTP is significantly lower (1 station case) even it is the most dense.

Which goes where
Parameters
The computation here is splitting the result based on which station is the nearest based on road weight. The color is a gradient from white to specific color which represents the station. The stronger the color is, the lower the RTP value, which is an indication of efficiency that the person from that area should take a bus that goes to the station. The white color display high RTP values, and shows that the person has an option to go to the other stations since either options would take him the same time and effort.

Parameters
For this level of analysis, the resulted data from the road factor is added an equation where a person need to travel upwards / downward or stay within an elevation level. The level of how the topography affects the "effort" for the person to reach the station is parametrically controlled. The added equation multiplies or reduced the road weight and density map accordingly. The clear effect of this equation can be seen by how certain areas have the RTP value lowered in areas which are steeper.

PHASE 1 -STATION EVALUATION
The average time for the people in the city to reach the station seems to vary about 300 RT, which translates to 5 minutes if the nearest public transport has to reach nearest station with speed about 30 km/s plust walking distance time to the nearest bus stop. Taking the density into the equation, we can see how the highly dense areas are not well serviced yet if we are taking the district center method. However, this approach would provide better familiarity with the current urban fabric.

PHASE 1 -STATION EVALUATION
The overall energy map shows improvements. However, on the relative time map, it shows some area with less people had to take longer distances to travel to the neraest station. Such as the area in the north east, these areas are places with low density population. The population based approach, however, is a more democratic approach to have a lower energy arrangement for the station The algorithm can be improved by taking the area clustering to be more precise (e.g instead of 10,000 people use 1000 people).

Case #3: Government's plan evaluation The current plan seems to cover geographical stretch of the MRT network, aiming centralised planning of the city development. It can be seen by how many people can access the nearest station. The strategy looks at where the current commercial area is, and focussing on transporting people there, rather than connecting in between places across the city.

The effect of the current placement on the existing urban fabric can be seen below in terms of relative time to reach and energy spent overall. The non-democratic approach of this placement would eventually "force" the people from the less dense areas to move towards the city central. The placement does not answer the possible congestion that happened at south-west area of the city, where it seems to be "high" in terms of kRTP.

DISCUSSION Top-down vs. bottom-up planning The government plan is a top-down approach where people are "forced" to migrate to the newly TOD areas as influenced by the stations placements. As it can be seen in figure 53, "high" energy areas are created in a number of places, which is an indication of how much effort the people need to make to reach the nearest station. This happen when there is a high density grid that needs to travel considerably far, which is a good indicator of which areas will have traffic jam or MRT congestions. This arrangement forces people who live far from the city to move closer to the nearest TOD developed area, making more space for green-spaces that the city is currently lacking of. As opposed to top-down approach, a more democratic method would be a bottom-up planning; it can be seen from case 2. The idea is to let the current urban fabric decides where is the most ideal placements for TOD to start. The result is a less, more familiar, distruptive changes to the local people; possibly preserving moments / meaningful objects that the areas are currently wellknown of. For instance, the current city center is full of historical monuments, along Braga road and its neighborhood. The government's plan would be disruptive, as two train network is intersecting the area. While it would attract more people, keeping the original atmosphere would be challenging. The case 2 provides a more distant solution, yet it provides reasonably accessible (walkable) routes to Braga neighborhood.

The motivation of the approach here is to allow easy access for people from all over Bandung to the center of the city. Also, provide future connection to the neighboring secondary cities around it. These stations are based on the population, where each represents the center point of 100,000 people. The algorithm allows for more subdivision for more precise location and number of stations, for this output the accuracy is 10,000 people with 20 stations. . The suggested routes have some similarities with the government's plan while additional two extra routes are added along the south circle line and inner city circle line to extend the reach to the major residential and industrial areas. Additional stations can be added along the lines too to improve the access. Page 51 of 104

URBAN PLANNING Concentric Model
Fig E2. Concentric layers of city development. PC: Pearson, 2005
The concentric model idea was developed by Ernest Burgess in 1925.1 The theory display the distribution of social hirearchy and status. Chicago was one of the cities that has this urban structure. Clear division and layered based on economy status allow better wayfinding in cities, organised planning, and centralised system. Distances from the centre becomes important and influence the market pricing of lands and spaces in both residential and commercial areas. There are some criticism about the cities developed in this way. Social division becomes clear and segregation might occur. As the city grows, it becomes difficult to expand because of the restrictive boundaries. In the long term there is a need for urban regeneration and gentrification. Often such places results in more expensive property can be found in formerly 'low class' housing areas.

Sector (Hoyt) Model
Fig E3. Sector (Hoyt) model for city development. PC: Pearson, 2005
Proposed by Homer Hoyt, a development from Burgess's model of cities where urban functions are distributed in slices of sectors stretching from the center, which usually represents the central business disctrict area.1 Each of the cluster has similar function and they are aligned with the major transportation routes. Cities like Bruges and Copenhagen are designed with this model. This allow expansion of functions, although it gets further from the city. There will be some challenges to design a good and strategic public transportation since the organisation of functions are not regularly organised. Prices of spaces and land would be easier to determine (based on sector. The sectors sometimes depend on the topography of the city. For instance, people who live in the higher areas are usually richer than those who live at the lower part of the city. Land use within each sector would remain the same because like attracts like. The industrial sector would remain industrial as the area would have a common advantage of a railway line or river. 1 Hoyt, H.

Multiple Nuclei Model
Fig E4. Multiple nuclei model for city development. PC: Pearson, 2005
The model was developed by C.D Harris and E.L Ulman in 1945.1 They argued that cities do not grow a single nucleus but several separate nuclei. Each nucleus acts similar to a growth point. It describes a city that develop with a central business district, or CBD to outskirts of the city near the more valuable housing areas to allow shorter commutes from the outskirts of the city. This produces nodes or nuclei in different parts of the city besides the CBD which results in the name multiple nuclei model. The aim was to produce a more realistic, more complicated city model. The model allows flexibility on city growth and emergence of new functions. The complexity is the result of the "human scale" development, a bottom top transformation guided by its own people. There are other models proposed by Ebenhezer Howard, Garden city model with multiple small towns. Singapore is one of the example of Howard's model. 1 Harris, Chauncy D.; Ullman, Edward L.

Bandung's Urban Model
Commerce Greeneries Mixed use Residentials Fig E5. Simplified diagram of Bandung urban allocation
The initial city started as a concentric model where main commercial areas, hotels, and city parks are located in the middle. The main roads are reaching to the edges of the city reaching the residential areas. The city is enveloped by dedicated green areas, especially towards the north. As the time progressed, there was a need for closer commercial centers. The residential spaces along major roads were eventually transformed into commercial spaces. As the city was expanding, there was a need to have dedicated green spaces, also some commercial areas started to emerge. The city became a hybrid model, which the society itself has shaped the old city to be what it is today. The phase 2 of the thesis would predict the ideal form in terms of effectiveness of the pedestrian travelling of allocation and emergence of urban functions. The goal of the urban model can be seen as a more complex model that is developed by the citizens with some constrains of the government's input and distribution of each urban function in the city.

TOD BASED SIMULATION Time step self organisation simulation The tools take the initial urban data and store it as a text file. It allows flexibilities in setting up the properties and behaviors of how different urban functions relate / interact with one another. Specific goals can be set in the the system as a direction where the city should be transformed into. The main calculation takes consideration of multiple stakeholders involved in the city development, mainly from the perspective of the citizens. The diagram on the right illustrates in detail of the calculation for each time step. Scopes The simulation model would take each grid as an "agent." Each agent has properties that govern the relationship with other types of agent. For this research, the types are limited to a number of functions. They are residential, slum, commercial, mixed, fixed, and green agents. Due to simplification of function in an area, size of the agent becomes important such that it is not too large as representation or too small for calculation. Residential agents would be dedicated areas ranging from landed houses to high rise apartments depending on the number of people / area of each respective agent. In the simulation, this type is allowed to change density, merge with similar agent, or transformed into others if needed. Commercial agent represents spaces which most spaces are used for commercial purposes. They have commercial values and have possibilities to appear when there is lack of the agents within specific range. Mixed use agent (experimental) emerges when commercial and residential spaces have to merge under certain conditions. Slum area, fixed, and green spaces will have its own custom properties which will be explained in detail in later section. Page 56 of 104

Agents
The agent is a representation of urban function within a specific boundary. The city, or assigned area, will be represented by group of agents. Diagram on the right shows the different types of agents and information for each type. The agent text file contains the information and details, each agent has its own line in the text file. The format of the text file is described as below: Line 0 : Time information Line 1 - 2 : Global size of the city Line 3 .. : Agents, properties are separated by coma {Corner 1, Corner 2, Function, Density, ID1, ID2, Distance to nearest MRT network} Location contains the information of the two corners (Corner 1, Corner 2) of the agents. It gives information of the center point and averaged elevation of the region that the agent represents. The two points create a rectangle, a boundary which we can use to measure the area covered. Function, in integer, provides information of the agent type which largely occupy the space or has substantial effect on the calculation (e.g space of high-end landed residential housing which has plenty of greeneries is considered as residential agent.). Fixed agent is agent which will not change throughout the calculation because of its historical / functional importance. Density, in people/sqm. In residential and slum type agents, the property describes the total population occupying the area. In green and commercial spaces, the value describes the total population who have immediate adjacent access to this agent. ID and Distance to network are the properties that responsible for evaluating adjancency between the agents and the relation to the MRT network. The ID is in string format of XXXXYYYY where x and y are the index of the global agent array.

Constructing Settings
These three properties set up boundaries, determine how the agents relate to one another and setting rules for emergence or take over. Goals are sets of global controls and parameters, to set boundary, the limit of maximum density, and total desired area in a city (e.g 40% green areas by 100 years of the entire city). To help with some decision making, the goal has priority input for each of the agent type, certain type has priority to emerge when the total area fall too low from what is required. Averaging setting helps in understanding the current urban spread in neighborhood level. The properties control the emergence of the new agent type. The calculation take the inputted radius and sample a percentage of agents within this region. Example of workaround at this level would be, if there is less than 3 commercial agents within radius of 2km of the test agent, the agent would convert itself into commercial agent while the population inside will be distributed to its neighboring agents. The same applies to green type agents in order to increase diversity and even spread of these functions througout the city. Cellular automata properties control the immediate relation to the adjacent agents (ID1, ID2 +1, -1). The direction is determined based on the nearest transit station. If TOD approach is used as a guide for the simulation, the global direction will determine how the population will distributed annually and to which type people will go and take over. There is also local direction which describes the distance from the network system. At some phase of the decision logic, residential spaces will move further away from the mass transport network because of the noises.

Applying Transformation For Each Agent The diagram on the right shows the sample workaround on how each agent is processed based on the set properties, setting, and existing urban composition. The calculation is clustered as group of agents with 1 nearest station. Initial time (Time = N), before the calculation of the next generation of agents, the agents are constructed based on the latest time-file in the working folder. The basic information is shown as shown. Station vector is also obtained to find which main and secondary target agents will be affected in creating the cellular automata transform. The population is changed based on the growth property (possible to decay too). Time = N + 1 State 1. For the case when the population has to decay and reaches zero or negative population, the agent has to change to new type and its population will start from zero. The first change will be based on the city goal, to see which type has priority and has not been achieved. The change, however can be overridden by the result of the monte carlo averaging. If within certain radius, there is lack of other functions (and sorted by its priority), the new function of the agent will be that most priority which is missing in that radius. (e.g there is no green space within 1 km radius, if the agent has to change it will be a green type agent, given green is the top priority). State 2. If population transfer is possible, it will affect the main agent, if it reaches its maxium capacity, the transfer will go to the secondary agents. In cases where all reached maximum capacity; the agent would not change. If the transfer causes any of the agent's population to be zero or less, the respective agent will undergo State 1 transformation. Statistic. The statistic provide global information of the city, consisting total area cover for each agent type. It is mainly used as check if goal for each type has been achieved or not. The information is constantly updated after each generation of the agent to avoid repetitive transformation. Page 62 of 104

The components grouped in blue areas are the initializer for the city. It reads the current land use of specific points, takes the density, topography, and evaluate the station locations. It also assigns automatically the ID, based on the relative location between each agents such neighboring agents can be find by means of dictionary call. Tool 2. The calculation start with tool 2. The properties and goals are inputted into the setting constructor. The main computing component takes 3 inputs to run: setting, statistic, and agents. At the absence of setting and statistic, it will run everything on default (zero growth and zero goal) when running input is set to true. The looper takes latest time file and write the time N+1 agents into next text file. Tool 1. For each calculation, the performance of the city is evaluated. This part takes the result of the road network and compare it with the agents density and function. The explanation of tool 1 is described in the phase 1 of the thesis. Agent visualizer. These components contain various visualization options from visualzing the agents' function, density, RTP/area, and other useful data.

SIMULATION PARAMETERS Initial agents
Agent Statistic
There are three main inputs for the initial agents; location, land use, and density. These data is obtained from various sources such as the government website about the current land use and density distribution. The algorithm will sort out the agents based on each location and allocate ID for each agent.
Residential: Areas: 85.03 sqkm Population: 963 892 Number: 1352 agents Density: 11 339 ppl/sqkm Perc Area: 45.8%
Size of the agent chosen was 250m by 250m. This approximation for land use provides sufficient representation of people and future growth. In terms of walkability, the area can be covered less than 3 minutes. Topography changes within this area would be considered minimal. The picture below shows the area size in relation to Singapore context.
Commercial: Areas: 36.16 sqkm Population: 536 570 Number: 575 agents Density: 14 904 ppl/sqkm Perc Area: 19.5%
Slum area was manually selected as there is no geographical data could be found. The selection is described in picture E12, where highly dense residential can be observed from above. The initial agent of the city after careful research is shown by the picture E13.

In this section, it will be explained the rationale of setting the growth, goal, and agent relationship properties for each agent type.
Residential: ToSlum = - dynamic (EQN) ToResi = dynamic (EQN) ToComm = dynamic (EQN) Max = distance based
Goals. The goal will be aligned to the long-term city goal (50 years) which was revised in 2014, known as RPJPD (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Daerah Kota Bandung) - Long term masterplan of city-level planning of Bandung. The detail plan can be found in the government website.1 Growth. The growth indicates population growth that exist in the region bounded by the agent. The rate of growth is a projection based on the historical data of countries that grew from developing to developed status. The number is currently set to 0.7% following the UNESCO prediction of population growth. 2 Growth for slum areas, however, is an exception where the rate is set as negative, which will be compensated in the increase of other functions to maintain 0.7% global growth. Maximum population for each agent is capped depending on its distance to the network. Residential and Slums. The properties set for this function is based on migration and economic growth rate. Considering how land value increases as it get nearer to the transit areas, the economic growth is a good estimation of how the movement of residential agent into another residential agent would be. This value would vary for each year based on mathematical model of GDP annual projection of Indonesia as shown in figure E14. Commercial The properties here are representing the similar characteristic with residential. However, in the visualization of the people who live in that area which also used as commercial function.

SIMULATION RESULT Station Performance Evaluation
Parameters
As the evaluation criteria, the agents are clustered by which stations they will go to (calculated from the modified shortest path.) The output will be groups of agents of same station target, in the case below the color represents which station it will go (Figure E16). For each agent in each group, RTP value is calculated. Averaged RTP of each group is obtained for each time step and used as performance index of the station. The time 0 statistic (Figure E17) shows how each of the station is performing. The color is matched with the RTP distribution map. The initial city composition is presented in the pie chart on the left, while distribution of people living in specific areas are presented in the right pie chart.

DISCUSSION Averaged RTP/Area
Parameters
The main objective of the simulation is to find the best possible population allocation (in terms of efficiency to travel around the city - RTP), given sets of parameters, period, behaviors, and land use goals The RTP is calculated per agent at specific time. Mapping the value on all agents give us indication of areas that are performing inefficiently (high RTP/area).
Residential: Growth 0.7% Goal 40%* Priority: 2
To recall, the calculation of RTP is as follow (Phase 1): RTP = Relative Time x Population / Agent Area Where relative time is calculated based on road network of various road types. The difference between road types are exceptionally small, except the highway, where travelling period is significantly faster. This was set because over time, the speed of each type will change. Therefore small differences would not affect the calculation, making population the only variable in the equation. For this simulation, the road types are kept the same throughout. Improvement. The RTP of the agents over the times can be improved by strategically move the population to another agent which is closer to the transit station. This will strategically move the population of agent with high Relative Time to a smaller one, result in lower RTP for the "giving" agent. This method, however, explains why certain areas are highly populated. These occurence happens mostly to those agents near the stations. The maximum capacity of each agent is varied, depending on how far the agent is located from the nearest station. The population spread will be further discussed in the later part of the discussion. The average RTP for all stations are reduced by this method, as seen by the bar charts of time 0 and 100. Some agents are observed to have high RTP value, this is as the result of the fixed agents blocking towards the transfer direction. The gradient maximum capacity was implemented to keep excessive accumulation of people in such cases. These high RTP agents are the best solution the system could achieve. Page 74 of 104

Land Use
Parameters
The first step of calculation for each agent is to recognize the city statistic. During a case when an agent can not migrate any people, it needs to change to a new type. The statistic solver (Figure E9) will find which new function it would be and update the new statistic for the next agent calculation. In this simulation, the initial statistic shows that the land use for slum and residential areas are exceeding the target goal, while green and commercial agents are below the goal. The system will start with eliminating the excessive agents and try to replace it with a type of most needed priority. Time: 100. The system tries to meet the goals with given parameters. The highest priority was set for green type. Starting with 10%, the system managed to get 30% of the overall areas. Residential was reduced to 41% to meet the target goal as 40%. Commercial spaces were set as third priority, and this type is performing badly. The system was trying to fill the gap of the missing items of the first priority type, and in doing so commercial type has to sacrifice its function when its population is too low. The slum was not completely eradicated, mainly because of high number of people occupying these areas. More time is needed to completely eradicate slum agents with the projected economic growth. The migration of the slum agent was set to move further from the station. (Page 70, behavior parameter.) The emergence was overriden by the monte-carlo averaging result, this was done to ensure variety within a neighborhood region for each agent type. (Set to 2 km radius, 60% sample size) The result of this method can be seen in random emergence of various types as effort in keeping variation of types exist within the 2km.

Population Spread
Parameters
The population will be the indication of what kind of residential development is needed in the area bounded by the agents. At the moment, Bandung is having some transformation by the emerging tower of residential and apartments. These emergences, however, are uncontrolled, and often located in unfortunate locations and causes traffic jams. The parameters for the population takes growth percentage, where each year the number of people of that agent type changes. It can increase or decrease for every time step. The values are set to be constant throughout the simulation to be 0.7%, approximately in a neighborhood of 1000 people, 7 children were born annually. As comparison, Singapore's population growth is 1.3%. The population of the agent is also influence by its position relative to the nearest station. Growth direction is obtained by taking the station as target, and center point of the agent as initial direction. This vector set distribution target, as explained in the previous section about the tool. Initial composition of the city was set, based on density data of each of the district. Based on how many agents are sitting in that district, even population are used. This is justified by the lack of variety in the building heights in Bandung. As seen before with the aerial overview of the city, the houses, buildings are mainly flat and lack of variation. The final composition, we can observe how certain agents are beginning to be occupied by a lot of people (about 3000 people in 62500 sqm, 5 people in 100 sqm). As comparison, Singapore's densest area (Tiong Bahru) has density is 5 people per 100 sqm. These highly dense agents are located nearer to the stations, while some areas are left empty to be utilised as dedicated green spaces, which are desperately needed by the city. There is migration of people from the slum areas to residence and mixed used areas. (27% to 10%)

In this phase, it will be discussed the interpretation of the simulated agents on the neighborhood level, about 2 km radius of the chosen station. The time span considered is 100 years (2118). The focus of this phase is around station 12. Station 12 is chosen because it is the current location of the central station and intersection of the North-South and East-West lines. The bounding box above show proximity where there are historical sites, river, and city hall.It will be discussed on how the simulated agents will help with development of secondary roads, FAR, buildable area, and footprint.

NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT Parametric Approach
Parameters
The final phase of the thesis is to show how the agents can be used as an aid for designing a master plan of an area. The chosen area is around the central station, which is also the intersection between north south and east west lines. The first step will loop the area bounded by the main roads into appropriate subdivision of spaces. If the divided space still larger than the minimal area, it will subdivide further. The block generation takes the offset from the functions used from the roads for cyclist, pedestrian, and green spaces. Allocated land parcel based on the minimal area size for each of the parcel. Based on the function and the number of people occupying the space, the footprint of the building is set differently. Commercial and slum will take more space while residential takes less. At this step, it is possible to immediately visualize what the city line as shown in the picture on the right. The adjustment of the massing is based on the surrounding and main concept. These steps, however, does not provide a dynamic evolution of the street network as the population change. The street, along the years, would likely to change and shift as the function around the building change. The next page shows the development through the different time files around station 13 and 14. The images show the population densification around the transit nodes.. (Red colour buildings)

CHOSEN SITE City Hall and Central Station The site chosen is around station 12, where the central station is currently located. Buildings in red are important to Bandung city due to its political use and historical values. It is also intersection of two proposed lines (North - South and East West) where in the future they will extend to the secondary cities. The existing station is part of the Java rail loop which connects major cities in Java island, stretching over 1500 km. Bandung is located at the intersection from Jakarta - Jogjakarta, and Merak - Surabaya. Known as the education city, where there are more than 5 national universities in the city, the station is mostly busy with students who came from all over Java to pursue their higher education here. During semester breaks and public holidays, the students would take the train from this station to go back. It is relatively a cheaper, more comfortable, and faster option as compared to airplanes or buses due to its extensive reach to the rural and secondary cities. The intimate identity with the students therefore demands a revitalization of the station to fit the need and empowering the youth that come to the city to pursue higher education. Cikapundung river flows from the mountain ridge on the north of Bandung towards the Citarum river. At the past, the river was populated by slums on its sides. Some factories used to dispose the waste there. The government decided to revitalize the use of the rivers for recreational use for the citizens. Cleaning up of unauthorized buildings, rubbish, and factories have been done the past decade. City hall is currently used as public spaces for local events, campaigns, or rallies. The spaces are occupied by local for recreational purposes, attracting mobile hawkers to populate the streets. The street activities, however, often result in the traffic jams at various nodes around Bandung.

Inside the Slum The majority of Bandung is covered by slum areas. A highly dense mixed use uncontrolled development deep inside the main roads. The access is usually narrow. The width would only fit a tricycle, motorcycle, or a cart. The speed of street inside is very slow. The streets are the social spaces for the residences for all ages, from children playground to chess tournaments. The circulation can be confusing for people who do not came from the area. Communities are large but cultural values are highly upheld by the people. Living close to one another demands respectful and considerate attitudes. The functions inside are mixed in sizes and variety, ranging from a 50 sqm single storey houses to 2 sqm coffee shop. Basic necessities can be found within a walkable distance. Small mosques and shops can be easily found. From the city perspective, these areas are considered to be the "most stagnant" in terms of economic growth. Removal of slum areas are getting common, especially in the major cities in Indonesia. The drive is mainly economic, however, original kampung spirit should be maintained in the more efficient context.

BANDUNG 2118 Agents to Masterplanning There are 25 agents that cover the chosen site (5x5, 1.25 x 1.25 km). The first image shows the selected agents at time = 100, the numbers displayed are the total of people assigned in the area bounded by the agent. The immediate translation of the agents are based on the areas bounded by the road network. The important landmarks are marked and the population are split accordingly based on the area covered. (Step b) The key concepts for the central station masterplanning are as follows. These values are aligned with the city's vision in making a liveable city; rich in its socio-economy aspects through nature and technology.
1. Center of public activitties 2. Unifiying urban functions 3. Bandung as city of technology 4. City for people
To fit with the concept, a green circulation around different function was introduced. This green routes will intersect and sprawling into the areas between the residential and commercial spaces connecting the people from these functions. The routes provide access to the central station from most of the residential and commercial spaces. The building footprints are different based on the function of the land. For this research, two typical modern housing footprints are used to fit into the residential areas. The height of the buildings are based on the number of people assigned to the areas, divided by the floor area and area per people (which will return a required floor number).

Proposed Development Station Interchange. The proposed form is an organic, open space, encapsulates multiple commercial spaces forming new concept of central public attraction. The structure opens up to green routes, becoming the center of the pedestrian infrastructure. There is a new bus interchange next to the station to extend the reach and improve efficiency. Roads. The streets are envisioned to focus on pedestrian mobility, car-lite, and encouraging people to cycle. The cycling culture used to be famous in Bandung, due to its cool climate and relatively flat topography. Renewal use of the roads would be focussed on personal mobility device rather than personal cars. Additionally, an underpass that connect the Otista road is added into the plan to improve the connectivitiy. Conserved spaces. Some slum areas are kept. The societal values in the slum areas are unique to Bandung. Activities such as ronda and hanging out at the parks are common and very pleasantly received by the community. Such features should be encouraged and kept in the future.

From traffic place to people place Invasion of cars as personal mobility had been the major problem with the traffic jams in Bandung. For a short 2 km trip would take a car 30 minutes through the traffic jam, when a bicycle would simply take 10 minutes. There is very little space for pedestrian and bicycle. Often, hawker sellers will populate the pedestrian space making walking extremely difficult. The five foot walkway are used as part of the commercial space. The people who need to walk along the road are exposed to sunlight or rains. There is also a dedicated lane for car parking, most of the time it is on both sides of the road. The function of Bandung's roads is primarily suited for personal / family cars. The economic status is displayed by the possession of personal cars. People from better financial status would not take public transport, but choose to take longer time to reach their working space. The new proposal is people oriented. The goal is to make the occupants of the city healthy, happy and resourceefficient. It is to invert the space given to cars for people. The new section of the road is primarily to open up most of the road spaces for pedestrian or usages of personal Page 96 of 104

mobility device such as bicycles or segways. Separation between walking with cycling should be implemented for safety reasons. Streets were badly lit because the initial design were for cars, which already have lights on it. The proposed demands adequate street lighting. The second priority is to provide spaces for the public transports. The design of the bus stops, intersectioncrossings, and tunnels are pedestrian friendly. It is focussed on the safety between walking and alighting the public busses. A gentle turn as displayed in figure 13 would slow down the cyclists as they enter the bus stop areas where people need to cross over the cycling lanes. The main goal is to create a sustainable city, in 100 years. With the simulation in phase 2, we achieve ideal land use within walkable distance. The infrastructure of the roads and green routes should promote healthy and happy living of the citizens.

Blue-green infrastructure Blue-green infrastructure of Cikapundung river adds into the sustainable values in improving socio-economy condition of the city. This approach is to address urban water challenges, aiming to recreate a more nature-oriented water cycle in the urban environment by bringing together water management and green infrastructure. The rivers will have vital roles in activating the public and natural function in the city as 1. To enhance urban liveability 2. Water source for the adjacent greenies 3. Improving the air quality 4. Flexible design and reaching out to the urban functions

Strategic addition of plants would help to cleanse and retains storm or waste water from the functions around the river. At the moment, the river has no interaction with the community. It serves merely to channel water from the mountain to the sea. The proposed river programme includes the built environment like public space that hos local community infrastructure and the social environmental recreations. In many cases, the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functions can be enhanced/ maintained without excessive use of potable water: for example, by irrigation with harvested roof and street rainfall runoff and recycled grey water from surrounding functions. This includes careful selection of the tree species based on their characteristics and the specific requirements they will need to fulfil.

CONCLUSION The thesis tried to find a democratic solution between the bottom-up and the top-down method of TOD urban planning through simulation. The calculation is run by using historical and current data, and targetted (biased) to meet the goals set by the government. Phase 1: Creating evaluation tool for TOD based development. The values reflected by the heat map from the calculation is a representation of work done intensity. The efficiency of travelling to the nearest transit node reflects what means of transport the person would take. For sustainable cities, an efficient urban form means more people travelling with bicycle / walking than using their own personal cars or public buses. Phase 2. TOD based simulation. The aim of the simulation is to reduce the work done (with evaluation tool) by densification of people around the transit nodes within an expected rate. The simulation relies heavily on the accuracy of projected and existing data. The result can be used as feasibility studies of urban planning goal of a city, to see how long a city would need to reach the goals. It also provides urban planner / city planning specific economic growth goal to reach the urban form within a desired duration. Phase 3. Translating the agents to masterplanning. Generation of building function and mass would give us some ideas on how the city line would look like. The convertion to master plan is particularly site specific, one has to consider cultural, identity, and heritage values of what defined the people. In case of Bandung, where the slum areas were aimed to be eradicared, these spaces are not exactly showing poor living standards. It is, in fact, a result of uncontrolled urban development from the people without interference from the government. Within walkable distance anyone would find their basic needs. The slum has qualities which reflect the values that Bandung citizens have. The question was on how these values would still be retained despite the modern development of the city.
