Informality Revisited offers an overview of recent debates about
Latin American government programmes for the formalisation of
informal settlements and housing provision in a neo-liberal
context. Contributions from Latin American researchers analyse the
contradictions in government actions and evaluate the consequences
for urban poverty. * Brings together ten leading Latin American
researchers in the field of land and housing policy to address the
question of informal urban development, particularly in Brazil,
Colombia, Mexico and Peru * Highlights the interrelationships
between the production of formal and informal urban development and
demonstrates how economic and legal reforms intended to make the
market more effective and profitable have affected the production
of urban space * Explores how Latin American governments are
applying neo-liberal principles to land and housing policies *
Investigates the implications of government actions for the
production and commodification of urban land as well as the
formalisation of property rights and provision of housing for the
urban poor * Contributors draw on a wide range of quantitative and
qualitative data, including census results and previously
unpublished official statistics
