Description:

304 pages : illustrations (colour), maps (colour) ; 25 cm

Summary:

Featuring 50 contemporary case studies of informal settlements from over 30 cities across the Global South, the 'Atlas of Informal Settlement' maps the processes by which informal settlements and slums grow and develop. Each case study uses maps and aerial photographs to examine the key stages of development, while accompanying texts outline the impact of environmental, social, economic and political factors - ultimately revealing the hidden rules and logics embodied in informal settlements worldwide. As the focus of sustainable urban development shifts towards the upgrade of slums through community collaboration, it has become vital to understand how such places develop. Key insights are provided, enabling designers and planners to better harness the positive capacities of informal production.
