Bringing together an interdisciplinary and international group of
researchers working on a wide variety of cities throughout Asia,
Latin America and Europe, this book addresses, rethinks and, in
some cases, abandons the notions of formal and informal urbanism.
This collection critically interrogates both the ways in which
'informal' and 'formal' are put to work in the governing and
politicisation of cities, and their conceptual strengths and
weaknesses. It does so by focusing on a wide variety of topics,
from specific forms of housing and labour often traditionally
linked to the formal/informal divide, to urban political
negotiations, cultural practices, and ways of being in the city.
The book takes stock of and reflects on how contemporary urban
informality/formality relations are being produced and are/might be
understood, and puts forward an enlarged and comprehensive
understanding of urban informality.
