The image of informal settlements
In the Global South, the visibility and image of informal settlements in urban design, planning, and policy discourse have gained increasing attention in recent years, particularly in relation to the politics of upgrading. Informal settlements are often characterised by small grain size and self-built constructions. While these settlements house millions of inhabitants, they are hardly recognised in long-term urban development. This paper explore…
Forms and spatiality of street vending in informal settlements
Street vending plays a critical role in the informal urban economy of cities in the Global South, serving as a key source of livelihood for the urban poor. However, limited understanding of how street vending works and its relationship with urban forms hinders the development of effective planning policies and design interventions by local authorities. This paper explores the complex dynamics of street vending in the informal settlements of Hanoi…
Mapping informal/formal morphologies over time
The emergence of informal settlements in the Global South has been at the centre of debates regarding sustainable development. While the visibility of informal settlements has been recognised as an important issue in the politics of upgrading projects, there is limited studies that systematically explore the development of informal settlements over time. This study primarily uses historical maps and satellite images as the main sources of data an…
Villages-in-the-city in China and Vietnam
This paper examines the morphologies of Villages-in-the-City (ViCs) in Kunming in China and Hanoi in Vietnam, that are undergoing rapid urbanisation and urban transformation. In China, the term Chengzhongcun refers to development of rural settlements that have been included in the urban districts arising from city expansion. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the phrase Làng trong phố is used to describe settlements in urban areas that used to be rural villa…
Morphogenesis of forgotten places
Sustainable integration of rural settlements into metropolises is one of the most challenging issues in the Global South. Due to rapid urbanisation, various villages, which often have underdeveloped infrastructure and amenities, have been incorporated into cities and have become Villages-in-the-City (ViCs). ViCs represent neighbourhoods that have not been designed by professionals, but they generally have strong social network and house millions …
