Creative – Sustainable Traditional Market Design in Malang

Abstract
Thirteen thousand four hundred and fifty (13,450) Traditional Markets in Indonesia faced great competitions from the
entrants of modern markets. The traditional markets failed to compete because of poor planning, inconvenient access,
overcrowded trading activities, lack of air circulation and poor sanitation, affecting 12.625 million vendors. A more
sustainable development model for Indonesian traditional markets is proposed based on the Singapore’s sustainable
commercial development. The Pasar Besar of Malang City, with 4,424 stores, 3,295 vendors and as one example of
degrading markets, needed a new sustainable design. Therefore, an interesting architecture concept is proposed and
hopefully could become an example of traditional market revitalisation in Indonesia.
