Abstract

The urban form is the physical configuration of a city, developed over time and space. Urban form can be considered at different scales, from region to neighborhood, each carrying a different focus. North Cianjur serves as the hinterland and one of the conurbation corridors of the Jakarta–Bandung Mega-Urban Region, meaning that the balance between its function as an environmental buffer area and the destination of urban growth needs to be planned carefully. This paper explores the dynamics in North Cianjur and employs several model scenarios as a planning intervention using landscape dynamic tools and land-change modeling, with three scenarios employed: Business as Usual (BAU), Spatial Planning Policy (SPP), and Urban Containment (UCT). The result show that North Cianjur has transformed into a polycentric region with two urban zones, a peri-urban zone, and a rural zone in the northernmost part of the region. Urban form trends show a sprawling built-up pattern outside urban zones, and a compacted trend in urban zones due to expansion from the Jakarta and Bandung Metropolitan Area. UCT models appear to be the most optimal for implementation in North Cianjur, representing a way to accommodate urban growth and expansion inside the urban center while still maintaining regional sustainability.

Highlights

Urban form, in its conceptual view, can be described as the spatial pattern of human activities
North Cianjur itself is a polycentric region with two urban cores: (1) Puncak–Cipanas urban center, and (2) Cianjur urban center, which serves as the capital of Cianjur regency

Summary

Introduction

Urban form, in its conceptual view, can be described as the spatial pattern of human activities. The urban form includes the relationship between the physical configuration of a city and the relationships between the elements that compose it, such as land-use patterns, population and housing density, infrastructure, transport, and networks [2,3,4]. These forms and relationships result from the multidimensional factors shaping a city, demographic, socioeconomic, planning, and cultural processes developed over time and space [5,6,7]. Urban form is an aspect that continually evolves by responding to social, Sustainability 2022, 14, 907.
