Description for The Informal City
Paperback. Num Pages: 180 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JHB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 12. Weight in Grams: 261.
In this book, Michel S.Laguerre argues that there exists an informal city located just beneath and in the interstices of the formal city. The metaphor is not geographical, but rather structural and hermeneutical. This is the city where manoeuvres that cannot be done publicly, legally, ethically or otherwise are performed. The author shows with illustrative data drawn from the American urban experience - the San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan area - why and how the informal city must be seen as the hidden dimension of the formal city.
