The turn of the century has been a moment of rapid urbanization.
Much of this urban growth is taking place in the cities of the
developing world and much of it in informal settlements. This book
presents cutting-edge research from various world regions to
demonstrate these trends. The contributions reveal that informal
housing is no longer the domain of the urban poor; rather it is a
significant zone of transactions for the middle-class and even
transnational elites. Indeed, the book presents a rich view of
"urban informality" as a system of regulations and norms that
governs the use of space and makes possible new forms of social and
political power. The book is organized as a "transnational"
endeavor. It brings together three regional domains of research-the
Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia-that are rarely in
conversation with one another. It also unsettles the hierarchy of
development and underdevelopment by looking at some First World
processes of informality through a Third World research lens.
