Informal Cities Workshop

The Informal Cities Workshop is a three-day experience researching the morphology and the morphogenesis of the informal city, as it evolves to be an integral phenomenon of global urbanism, and the corresponding historical, economic, social, architectural, and urban theory. Today, one billion people live in informal cities (36% of the world’s population) and this is expected to grow another one billion over the next thirty years. As it is currently evolving, the informal city is an urban phenomenon set up within the planned city’s territory and increasingly an integral part of it.
