Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Chapters explore the relationships between informality, state policies, and market forces from a range of disciplinary perspectives and on different scales, from an analysis of the relationship between regulations and housing in 600 developing world cities to an ethnographic account of the buying and selling of houses in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. While many of the book's contributors focus on the emerging economies of India and Brazil, the conclusions drawn illustrate dynamics relevant to developing countries throughout the Global South. The diversity of perspectives combines to create a rich understanding of an important, complex, and understudied topic.

Reviews / Votes
"Likely to be a frequently used and often cited book, Slums: How Informal Real Estate Markets Work provides an extraordinary array of information on a complex and highly idiosyncratic subject that existing studies treat only in a limited way." (Robert Buckley, The New School)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware.
