This lecture describes what the Maya cities might have looked like and provide me a lot of inspiration as to what some of the cities in Sundaland might look like. I've linked to the relevant 6 minutes of the lecture at the 40 minute mark as that's where the useful information starts, the first section is all about LIDAR technology.
The lecturer described an urbanised rainforest or rainforest garden as a mode of living that's suited to that environment and very different from European or Asian towns and villages in pre-industrial times.
That is an interesting and alien way to organize urban spaces. Much to consider there.
