"The project proposes an 'Antiquary Incubator' as a rejuvenation point in Johor Bahru's city centre, leveraging the cultural and economic significance of Pasar Karat. This incubator seeks to reactivate and nurture the local potential in antiquities, supporting micro-entrepreneurs. Central to this initiative is the role of kaki lima, which functions as a transitional tool, blurring the boundaries between formal and informal spaces. By adopting the permeable and connective nature of kaki lima, the project fosters social cohesion, encouraging organic interactions. This approach not only revitalizes heritage sites but also strengthens the local economy and mitigates social fragmentation caused by brain drain, ultimately preserving Johor Bahru’s unique identity.
