Download or read book Urban Informality written by Ananya Roy and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turn of the century has been a moment of rapid urbanization. Much of this urban growth is taking place in the cities of the developing world and much of it in informal settlements. This book presents cutting-edge research from various world regions to demonstrate these trends. The contributions reveal that informal housing is no longer the domain of the urban poor; rather it is a significant zone of transactions for the middle-class and even transnational elites. Indeed, the book presents a rich view of "urban informality" as a system of regulations and norms that governs the use of space and makes possible new forms of social and political power. The book is organized as a "transnational" endeavor. It brings together three regional domains of research--the Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia--that are rarely in conversation with one another. It also unsettles the hierarchy of development and underdevelopment by looking at some First World processes of informality through a Third World research lens.

Download or read book Integrating the Informal Sector in Urban Plans written by Pardon Chibuwe and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of the informal sector in towns and cities of the developing world challenges the current urban planning approaches as conflicts of landuse between 'planned for' zones and informal zones continue to soar. With informality as a challenge to urban planning, this book analyses the informal sector with informal trade at Sakubva Musika in Mutare: Zimbabwe as a point in case. It therefore gives a balanced assessment of the problem at hand, shedding more light on regulatory, policy, management and spatial planning issues that should inform urban planning with regard to urban informality. Information in this book is of great importance to Local Authorities and Central Governments, academic institutions, development organisations and individuals interested in coming up with solutions towards alleviating poverty in towns and cities of the developing world.

Download or read book Lessons of Informality written by Felix Heisel and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informal settlements made up of corrugated iron shacks and other materials are a ubiquitous feature in the megacities of Africa, Asia and Latin America. In response to the enormous influx of migrants from the countryside, the informal city experienced a phenomenal growth. While rightly criticized for their lack of hygiene and for their low-level living conditions, these shelters nevertheless provide planning strategies and possibly even a roadmap to a resilient city in an emerging territory. The unregistered economic activities associated with them proliferate in a similar way and basic urban services are increasingly provided informally. Examples of these economic phenomena are microloans, bottom-up insurance or professions such as the "Kuré-Yalew" (refuse collector), who acts as an "urban miner" and thus contributes a valuable service to the community by recycling materials.

This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: 75.00, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses how informal economic actors utilize the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis. Furthermore, the effects of informal economic activities on formal spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis will also be examined. High rate of urbanization and fast growing economies have impacted on land use patterns. This paper examine how various informal economic actors are using the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis and how city authorities respond to their activities in these public spaces. The recent trend towards increasing informal economic activity in African cities and towns, coupled with the contribution of informal activity to urban and urban development efforts, leaves much to be desired. The research was specifically directed at assessing the effects of informal activities with a great deal of emphasis on the use and management of formal spaces in the metropolis of Kumasi and how to integrate it with activity in the management and development of urban areas. In order to maximize the capacity of the informal sector and its effects on formal spaces, there needs to be efficient integration of the business enterprises of the sector and the use of public spaces by stakeholders in urban management and development policies, as well as the effects of social inclusion on the use of public spaces.
