Comparative Approaches to Informal Housing Around the Globe brings together historians, anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists, urban planners and political activists to break new ground in the globalisation of knowledge about informal housing. Providing both methodological reflections and practical examples, they compare informal settlements, unauthorised occupation of flats, illegal housing construction and political squatting in different regions of the world. Subjects covered include squatter settlements in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, squatting activism in Brazil and Spain, right-wing squatting in Germany, planning laws and informality across countries in the Global North, and squatting in post-Second World War UK and Australia.

This book focuses on the implementation of slum upgrading projects and the last generation of citywide programmes that define the future urban configuration of informal settlements, from a citywide perspective, in the Earth’s tropical region. The book presents a study on regeneration experiences in Asia and Latin America and it identifies important points of connection and similarities between the two cases, while also determining that, compared to Asia, informality in Latin America is in its ‘second generation.’.

Pour l’anthropologue qui s’intéresse depuis vingt ans à Dharavi, slum super star qui rassemble environ 800 000 personnes sur 3 km2 à l’épicentre de Mumbai, il s’agit de questionner l’organisation de ces « slums » définis officiellement par leur insalubrité et par leur « illégalité » afin de montrer qu’ils sont partie prenante des dynamiques urbaines contemporaines et qu’ils redéfinissent les modes traditionnels de régulations urbaines. Dharavi, fourmilière industrieuse accueillant d´abord les migrants de basses castes écrasés sous le poids des hiérarchies traditionnelles et des inégalités va s’imposer par ses connexions à la ville formelle. En même temps, l’incroyable boom immobilier de Mumbai va situer Dharavi au centre des convoitises pour en faire un laboratoire de projets de logement et de réhabilitation uniques par leur montage et leur dimension politique. Dans ces slums, l’apparente destructuration du lien social est ainsi le lieu de reformulation de nouveaux modes d’être-ensemble qui renversent les clichés sur le bidonville anomique et pouilleux. C’est aussi au-delà de l’apparent chaos que s’organise une réflexion sur comment habiter la ville, concevoir le lien urbain, penser un citoyen et son « droit à la ville ». Cela en partant du terrain, de ces bicoques où l’on vit et travaille à la fois, de ces réseaux migratoires de castes qui relient la mégapole au village.

Countries everywhere are divided within into two distinct spatial realms: one urban, one rural. Classic models of development predict faster growth in the urban sector, causing rapid migration from rural areas to cities, lifting average incomes in both places. The situation in South Africa throws up an unconventional challenge. The country has symptoms of a spatial realm that is not not rural, not fully urban, lying somewhat in limbo. This is the realm of the country's townships and informal settlements (T&IS). In many ways, the townships and especially the informal settlements are similar to
