While often seen as unplanned or spontaneous, informal settlement is better understood as a mode of production: a co-evolution of architecture, urban design and planning that embodies informal rules and shapes urban development. The Atlas of Informal Settlement is a comparative study of the spatial logic of informal settlement based on mapping and analysing the evolution of urban form (morphogenesis) in 51 contemporary settlements across the planet – the first of its kind and a fundamental change in thinking for urban studies and built environment professionals. Each of the 51 case studies uses maps and aerial photographs to examine key stages of development, showing how informal settlement adapts to different contexts of political economy, topography, culture, climate and land tenure; revealing a complex range of actors from settlers and states to land mafias and pirate developers. It demonstrates the range of design processes and formal outcomes; how the informal becomes formalized and vice versa. Interspersed with short chapters introducing key theoretical concepts, the Atlas shows how such practices may or may not produce 'slums', and how settlement is already a form of 'upgrading'. Informal settlement is the primary mode of production of affordable housing and neighbourhood infrastructure within cities of the Global South; with detailed mapping and profiling of 51 settlements this book shows how such urban morphologies emerge in terms of architecture, urban design and planning.

"This publication presents a methodology for participative informal settlement upgrading with the support of information technology, the result of research and development activities carried out by UNCHS (Habitat) and a group of partners. Examining a number of experiences in the field, and through direct support to specific tool development activities, Habitat aims to consolidate a wealth of practical and field experiences into a methodological framework. The methodology refers to the project preparation phase, including community involvement protocols, and the information management system related to it. This methodology should be seen as a practical reference framework for programme managers and officials involved in designing and managing settlement upgrading projects and should assist policy makers and external support agencies in policy formulation and resource allocation. It will also provide a technical background to the Global Campaigns for Secure Tenure and for Good Urban Governance that UNCHS (Habitat) is launching in the year 2000"--p. 3.

Public Space in Informal Settlements: The Barrios of Bogotá contributes to the debate on informal settlements by viewing them as an opportunity to understand different ways of seeing and thinking about the city. Public spaces in informal settlements, like the housing stock, are to a large extent the product of local self-help and self-managed processes; however, the equivalent level of understanding has not been achieved, partly because such settlements are often seen as spare spaces with little value. Public spaces in informal settlements are public in terms of ownership and accessibility, but are communal in terms of use and attachment. They play an important role in the physical and social dynamics of the barrios, and have done since their inception; however, the improvement and consolidation of such spaces may not be realised for many years. The book will be of primary importance to architects, urban planners and researchers who are interested in the city in general, and in informal settlements in particular. The book will also be of interest to those in the humanities and social sciences who are concerned with politics and postcolonial studies, and to academics working in people–environment studies and in the relationship between people and place in terms of place self-building, place attachment and place identity. However, the volume will be of most interest for Latin Americanists who do not read Spanish or Portuguese, and would like to know more about the region, the problems and the views, from the perspective of an insider with extended knowledge of the field.

Cities are the largest complex adaptive system in human culture and have always been changing in time according to largely unplanned patterns of development. Though Urban Morphology, a specific field of urban design studies, has typically addressed studies of form in cities and the process of formation and transformation, with emphasis on historical cases, diachronic comparative studies are still relatively rare, especially those based on quantitative analysis. As a result, we are still far from laying the ground for a comprehensive understanding of the model of change of the urban form. However,developing such understanding is extremely relevant as the cross-scale interlink between the spatial and social-economic dynamics in cities is increasingly recognized to play a major role in the complex functioning of urban systems and quality of life. I study the urban form of San Pedro de Ate, an informal settlement in Lima, Peru, throughout its entire cycle of development over the last seventy years. My study, conducted through a four-month on-site research, is based on the idea that informal settlements would change according to patterns similar to those of pre-modern cities, though at a much faster pace of growth. To do so, aerial photographs of four different time periods (from 1949 to 2005) have been digitized and then morphological analysis has been conducted at four scales: Building, Plot, Block and Settlement - comprehensive of Open Space and Street Network - that I have called `Pattern Analysis'. This is a three-step procedure, consisting of i ) Pattern Detection: patterns of change in the settlement's urban structure are identified and classified using recognised literature on pre-modern cities, ii ) Pattern Measurement: a quantitative analysis based on the computation of mathematical indicators of urban form, and iii ) Longitudinal Analysis: the study of the development of urban form in time. Similarities between informal settlements and historic cities, have been further assessed by means of a comparative quantitative analysis between San Pedro de Ate and Muratori's study of San Bartolomio - one of the first neighbourhoods in Venice. This comparison represents a unique example and is conducted within both diachronic studies among individual cases and diatopic ones through different cases. Results show that the urban elements in San Pedro are reduced in dimension but higher in density with respect to cases studied in the literature so far. Moreover, the emergence of the urban elements in time and their densification process seem to follow a two-step growth: an initial rapid development, followed by a much slower one.
