{"product_id":"rethinking-the-informal-city-felipe-hernzandez-9781845455828","title":"Rethinking the Informal City: Critical Perspectives from Latin America","description":"\u003cp\u003e Latin American cities have always been characterized by a strong tension between what is vaguely described as their formal and informal dimensions. However, the terms formal and informal refer not only to the physical aspect of cities but also to their entire socio-political fabric. Informal cities and settlements exceed the structures of order, control and homogeneity that one expects to find in a formal city; therefore the contributors to this volume - from such disciplines as architecture, urban planning, anthropology, urban design, cultural and urban studies and sociology - focus on alternative methods of analysis in order to study the phenomenon of urban informality. This book provides a thorough review of the work that is currently being carried out by scholars, practitioners and governmental institutions, in and outside Latin America, on the question of informal cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Felipe Hernández\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845455827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845455828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 145","brand":"Felipe Hernández","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136915878143,"sku":"9781845455828","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e9a40f-fe8a-49fb-93e9-91327dcf0a39.jpg?v=1770165307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-the-informal-city-felipe-hernzandez-9781845455828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
