Focusing on fifty-one sites, the Atlas offers a nuanced spatial analysis at different scale levels and reveals the processes and outcomes of self-organized urban design. In doing so, it offers learnings for context-sensitive policies for affordable housing and neighbourhood infrastructure in rapidly growing cities. * Raf Tuts, Director, Global Solutions Division, UN-Habitat *\u003cbr\u003eWe know very little about most of the informal settlements that house over a billion urban dwellers. This book advances and deepens our understanding of these settlements‘ development and expansion over time in all their diversity and complexity. * David Satterthwaite, International Institute for Environment and Development *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a vital empirical consolidation of the heterogeneous ways urban settlements are being composed and governed. The \"informal\" is always extending itself across new terrain and vernaculars; something always being worked and worked on in incessant processes of becoming unsettled and resettled. * AbdouMaliq Simone, Urban Institute, University of Sheffield *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of figures List of authors Acknowledgements  Part A  INTRODUCTION: Informal Settlement as a Verb Part B  METHOD: Mapping Informal Assemblages  Part C  SETTLEMENT  Part D  MORPHOGENESIS: The Spatial Logic of Self-Organized Urban Design   Part E  REFERENCES    Glossary Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407532728663,"sku":"9781350295049","price":71.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350295049.jpg?v=1730499692","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/atlas-of-informal-settlement-9781350295049","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
