Abstract

The Tanjung Priok area, as Jakarta^s main port activity center and a major transportation hub, faces significant challenges related to environmental quality, traffic congestion, and urban spatial fragmentation. This study explores strategies to transform the area into a regenerative and livable built environment, with a focus on the integration of the port and railway station as a strategic step toward sustainable urban revitalization. A regenerative design approach aimed at achieving a high-quality, waterfront-oriented public realm is combined with the principles of transit-oriented development (TOD) to establish multimodal connectivity, inclusive public spaces, and adaptive green infrastructure. The research employs a two-fold methodology: a literature review and a case study of existing interventions in comparable port cities. The findings reveal that the physical and functional integration of transport nodes with the port area can enhance adjacent settlement areas, reduce environmental impacts, and reinforce the area^s waterfront cultural identity through regeneration initiatives. In particular, adaptive reuse of underutilized docklands for linear parks, enhancement of pedestrian and cycling routes between the port terminal and Tanjung Priok Station, and implementation of green buffers along rail corridors and the waterfront promenade emerged as critical measures.
