Description

Explore the complex relationship between urban expansion and informal settlements in this academic volume from Routledge. As cities in developing and emerging economies grew during the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, they gave rise to unplanned urban areas. This book examines these spaces, often referred to by terms such as favela, ghetto, bidonville, shantytown, and informal settlements. Rather than viewing these areas through a single lens, the text looks at the dwellings as architecture of necessity and architecture of everyday experience within the modern metropolis. It offers a unique perspective on the structures built by people and how these settlements relate to the broader context of protests and upheavals in urban environments. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in urban theory, sociology, and the architectural evolution of global cities.
