Reviews

"""The book refreshingly treats self-construction as a right to the city. As many of the chapters show, this practice, which emerges 'from below', has become an integral, often institutionalized, part of the urban self-regulation process."" Oren Yiftachel, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. ""Provides a powerful interrogation of the role of low-income residents in the articulation of their own livelihoods, claiming their rights and transforming policies at the political level."" Raquel Rolnik, University of São Paulo ""Drawing on examples from three continents, this book offers fresh insights into self-build housing processes and an analytical window into the global struggles over the urban space and urban governance.""
