INFORMAL SETTLEMENT

Most urbanization over the past 50 years has been accommodated through informal settlement in cities of the global South. Housing at least a billion people, most such settlements have become permanent neighbourhoods of these cities. This project is a study of the morphology and morphogenesis of informal settlement - the forms through which urban informality emerges, infiltrates and insinuates itself into and around the formal city. It is also a study of the many ways such settlements become upgraded over time.
