Slums by Eugenie L Birch
Slums: How Informal Real Estate Markets Work shows that unauthorized settlements in rapidly growing cities are not divorced from market forces; rather, they must be understood as complex environments where state policies and market actors play a role.
"Likely to be a frequently used and often cited book, Slums: How Informal Real Estate Markets Work provides an extraordinary array of information on a complex and highly idiosyncratic subject that existing studies treat only in a limited way" * Robert Buckley, The New School *
