The land sharing project in the Thep Prathan community, on Rama IV Road, was one of the early land sharing projects in Bangkok.  The project was finally finished in 2000, but that milestone came after more than three decades of struggle, negotiation and compromise.  This historic report describes one of the early land sharing proposals the community developed and lobbied for - but was not agreed to.  The Thep Prathan community leaders told the story of their long struggle and presented this detailed version of their housing redevelopment plans in a workshop on “Improving low-income residential areas in southeast Asian cities”, which took place in Bandung, Indonesia, in November 1980.
