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.
