Abstract: Consumer‐based cities tend to push their productive areas into the outskirts, and when
consumption thrives without production, this raises a problem in urban development. Cities should
have a continuous flow of activity within the 24/7‐hour framework by implementing a mixed‐use of
activities: living, commercial, production. Without it, pockets of declining areas appear within the
urban fabric and the need for urban regeneration is necessary to retrieve the area’s value, as well as
fit it to the current changes of urban growth and productivity pattern. A case study which offers
insight towards implementing mixed used activities within a small space is seen in Home‐based
Enterprises, where close proximity of activities allows the development for a circular urban economy,
causing a smaller and closed chain of economy that acts as a catalyst in urban regeneration. The
method used in this study is observation between recent conditions of the first case study ‐‐ Seogye‐
Dong, South Korea and comparing them to the similar conditions of Kampung Laweyan, Indonesia as
a second case study. Analyzing Kampung Laweyan’s strategy in converting productive housings to
their own textile Home‐based Enterprise, demonstrated how close proximity of mixed‐use activities
was able to increase Kampung Laweyan’s value as well as betterment of the human settlement as a
whole.
