While housing modes in the developing world are traditionally divided into binary formal–informal categories, this article structures developer modalities by situating them along a ‘formality continuum’, from informal to formal, with hybrid modes in the middle. Using this continuum this article outlines three informal developer modes: unauthorised owner-occupier self-build of incremental housing in slums and informal settlements; unauthorised land subdivision, typically on the periphery of cities; and rental property, both small-scale households and large-scale commercial landlords. Each modality is discussed with a focus on the underlying process, activities, and actors involved. It is these informal and mostly unplanned housing modalities that constitute the dominant residential development approach in cities in developing countries today.

Those who work in the public sector or with public policies at the local government level will benefit from the findings of the research particularly if their interest lies on the establishment of government-community management of public funds. The findings of the research will be instrumental for NGO’s and CBO’s that are engaged in partnerships with local governments. The primary objective of the research is to analyse and describe the experience of the municipality of Santo Andre with participatory budgeting hereinafter called OP ( Orcamento Participativo) depicted from interviews and observations of key actors and stakeholders directly involved in the OP, and from the analysis of interna...

The street-led approach draws on the area-based plan, the urban layout design and the street networks. It is argued that this is an incremental development strategy to achieve physical and spatial integration of slums into the nearby district and the city as whole. The practical examples of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo show the vigorous results of the approach in achieving greater spatial connectivity and physical integration but also unveil the challenges to incorporate slum dwellers into the city social, economic, institutional and city management environment.

The Plano Piloto of Brasilia is the only 20th century urban area, that was elected as a patrimony of humanity by UNESCO. The city experienced a rapid development but after thirty-two years since it was officially inaugurated, it presents features similar to other metropolises in the Developing World: high rates of population growth, housing shortage, squatter settlements, urban struggles, inappropriate public policies etc. In this paper, the author makes a critical review of the development of the city, emphasizing low income housing policies, stressing the conflicts of the planning process with emerging social-political movements of residents. Theoretical parameters and development premises of the new Brazilian capital are analyzed. It is argued that these parameters have decisively influenced further urban policies of the government, which created a series of constraints on the urban poor. The text provides evidence that a critical housing shortage has accompanied the development of Brasilia and that it is directly associated with restrictive public policies towards land, housing, infrastructure and employment. BRASILIA, FROM CONCEPT TO METROPOLIS: a critique from the perspective of low income housing policies.

It also indicates that cities are growing at a rate of 60 million inhabitants per year that is equivalent to a country of the size of Egypt, Turkey or Thailand. The noticeable phenomenon is the increase in the number of cities with a population between 1 and 5 million inhabitants, from nearly 200 to more than 600.
