The Self-Build Experience: Institutionalisation, Place-Making and City Building

Overview

Spanning multiple countries across South America, Europe and Africa, this book uses an international comparative perspective to investigate the phenomenon of self-building for low and middle income groups in urban areas, examining the tensions between regulation and self-regulatory initiatives. Using a broad international comparative perspective that spans multiple countries across South America, Europe and Africa, contributors explore resident-led self-building for low and middle income groups in urban areas. Although social, economic and urban prosperity differs across these contexts, there exists a recurring tension between formal governance and self-regulation in building practices. Contributors examine the multi-faceted regulation dilemmas of self-building under the conditions of modernisation and consider alternative methods of institutionalisation, place-making and urban design, through reconceptualising the moral and managerial ownership of the city. Innovative in scope, this book provides an array of globalised solutions for navigating regulatory tensions in order to optimise sustainable development for the future.

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 Sao Paulo
