Informal Settlements and Housing Rights
Informal settlements — including slums, favelas, squatter camps, and shanty towns — house an estimated one billion people globally and represent one of the defining features of urbanisation in the Global South. This topic examines the formation, geography, and living conditions of informal settlements, as well as international debates about housing rights, upgrading approaches, and the politics of eviction and regularisation. Case studies draw on Mumbai, Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, and Nairobi.
