Housing informality, in the sense of use of land or buildings outside the legal realm, has been | |||
widespread dwelling strategy for the urban poor in different geographical contexts and historical | |||
periods. Informality crucially shaped the “hidden history of housing” (Ward, 2002), as part of what | |||
Foucault (2013) calls “popular illegality”. Still today these practices characterise the housing situation | |||
in many Global South countries, where hundreds million people live in so-called slum areas. Yet | |||
Europe is no exception: having witnessed informal housing practices in the past, they are reemerging | |||
in present times as a diffused housing solution not only for marginalised and migrant | |||
populations, but also for the working class (see Mudu and Chattopadhyay, 2017). | |||
This session aims to explore housing informality among urban poor, by comparing different historical | |||
periods in order to investigate the origins and developments of this phenomenon in the Global | |||
North. We believe that this socio-historical perspective can be particularly fruitful to shed light on | |||
informal housing processes that have been so far largely studied with reference to contemporary | |||
examples. Moreover, comparison of informal housing practices across different times in history can | |||
enrich the current attention to their geographical dimension, adding to the understanding of the | |||
evolution of these practices in the same cities and regions. Overall, through this approach we wish to | |||
bring to the fore the temporality of housing informality to better understand its long-lasting | |||
presence in Global North. | |||
'''We welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:''' | |||
*The transformation of materiality and everyday life of informal housing in different historical periods; | |||
*The various forms of collective action around housing both in the present and past; | |||
*The genealogies, developments, legacies and travelling of public policy tools to govern housing informality and control land use; | |||
*The evolution of the relationship between the real estate market and public authorities with regard to urban planning and informal housing; | |||
*The representations of urban informal dwellers and how they changed (or not) in history; | |||
*The changes in global capitalism and how they affect housing informality. | |||
