Synopsis

Spanning multiple countries across South America, Europe and Africa, this book investigates the phenomenon of self-building for low- and middle-income groups in urban areas. It explores the tension between governance and self-regulation, considering how this relationship can be remodelled and optimised to create more socially sustainable forms of urbanisation. It argues for a rethinking of governance and the moral and managerial ownership of the city.
