Urban Informality - An Introduction

This book is the first to provide an introductory overview to the concept of ‘urban informality’, taking an international perspective across the global North and South. It explores theoretical understandings of the term, and looks at how it affects ways of living, such as land use, housing and basic services, working lives and political informality. Using a broad range of material to bring the topic to life, including non-conventional sources – fiction, poetry, lyrics, photography, illustration, interviews and other media - the book helps students develop research projects on this topic. The book also includes interjections from diverse voices of practitioners, policy makers, community activists and academic experts to explore ethical issues and highlights innovative methodologies.
