- Title
Looking Beyond Informality.
- Authors
Fabricius, Daniela
- Abstract
It is all too easy to be optimistic about the economic and social future of Latin America. , the author of 100% Favela: The Informal Geographies of Rio de Janeiro (forthcoming), calls into question architects working within the realpolitik of a globalised, post-nationalist world. Could an all too ready acceptance of existing conditions and the adoption of informality leave inhabitants short-changed? For to live informally is also to live precariously - no substitute for secure and prosperous living.
