Description

This Routledge volume examines the architectural heritage and urban development of informal settlements across the developing and emerging economies of the late 19th and 20th centuries. The book explores how rapid city expansion created unplanned districts known by various terms-bidonville, favela, ghetto, informal settlements, and shantytown-where residents built structures born from necessity and everyday experience. Rather than dismissing these dwellings as mere shacks, the author presents a critical perspective on how the architecture of underprivileged communities reflects resilience, ingenuity, and social response to urbanisation. The volume contextualises these urban upheavals within broader narratives of metropolitan growth and social protest, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how marginalised populations have shaped modern cities through their built environment and architectural choices.

Key Features

Examines informal settlements and unplanned urban districts across developing and emerging economies from the late 19th century onwards.

Reframes shantytown and favela architecture as meaningful expressions of necessity and contemporary urban experience rather than dismissing them as inadequate structures.

Explores the relationship between rapid city expansion, social upheavals, and the architectural responses of underprivileged communities in modern metropolises.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in critical theory and architecture scholarship.
