This is the first book to address future informal settlements at
the global scale. It argues that to foster favourable conditions
for the sustainable evolution of future informal cities, planners
must consider the same issues that are paramount in formal urban
developments, such as provision of: balanced land uses energy
efficiency and mobility water management and food sufficiency
governance and community participation productivity and
competitiveness identity and sense of place Planning and Design for
Future Informal Settlements makes a call for responsible action to
address the urban challenges of the developing world, suggesting
that the vitality of informality, coupled with spatial design and
good management, can support the efficient use of resources in
better places to live. The book analyses the strengths and
weaknesses of informal urbanism and the challenges faced by the
fast growing cities of the developing world. Through case studies,
it demonstrates the contributions and limitations of different
attempts to plan ahead for urban growth, from the creation of
formal housing and urban infrastructures for self-built dwellings
to the improvement of existing informal settlements. It provides a
robust framework for planners and designers, policy-makers, NGOs
and local governments working to improve living conditions in
developing cities.
