<![CDATA[Bandung is one of Indonesia's creative cities, characterized by a wide range of activities. This dynamic positions public space as a strategic element in supporting social interaction, creative activities, and the city's creative tourism experience within the urban landscape. This study aims to analyze the integration of "Soft City" and "Placemaking" principles in the development of creative spaces in Bandung. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing place quality analysis based on PPS Placemaking Tools and spatial character evaluation using the Soft City Framework, with the Bandung Creative Hub (BCH) serving as the case study. The results indicate that the site holds strong potential as a catalyst for creative space, driven primarily by the presence of art activities, cultural communities, and intense social interaction. However, several challenges were identified, such as rigid outdoor spaces, pedestrian accessibility issues, and spaces that do not yet fully facilitate spontaneous interaction. The integration of Soft City and placemaking concepts yields strategic recommendations, including the activation of outdoor spaces, improvements to surrounding pedestrian paths, and the development of public spaces as venues for creative urban tourism. The study affirms that the synergy between Soft City and placemaking can create creative spaces that are more vibrant and aligned with Bandung's identity as a creative city.
