Abstract
Desakota, commonly known as urban kampung, is a distinctive characteristic of urbanization in the Southeast Asian region. These communities are particularly susceptible to urban food insecurity and heat stress, making them highly vulnerable. This article examines a suitable VGS approach to address these concerns based on the characteristics of the urban kampung using a systematic literature review (SLR). The study highlights that the characteristics of urban kampungs, such as the physical environment, income levels, and demand size, determine the suitability of Productive Façade as a viable solution. This study can support the development of green infrastructure for UHI and climate change mitigation and adaptation, improve public health, and promote environmental justice in densely populated urban areas with low-income populations.
