 
    At a time when architectural and urban studies are moving towards seeking to accept and understand informal neighbourhoods rather than ignoring or eradicating them, the need for experiments on the ground is becoming increasingly urgent. In recent years, a growing number of architects and urban designers have committed themselves to the idea that these settlements are here to stay and require selective intervention in order to achieve better living conditions.
This book contributes to the development of new architectural approaches to informal neighbourhoods and to a better understanding of human habitats that relates spatial issues to broader economic and political questions. The contributors analyse feasible and effective practical actions located in Africa, Latin America and India, drawing upon empiric work to contextualise concrete neighbourhoods. Complementing essays explore the deeply intertwined nature of spatial practice, cultural identity and social engagement. A conversation between contributors Julia King, Paulo Moreira, Elisa Silva, AbdouMaliq Simone, and Ines Weizman, moderated by Matthew Barac, rounds out this volume.

Condición: Gebraucht - Sehr gut. 1. In der jüngsten Architektur- und Stadtentwicklungsforschung hat sich das Verständnis von sich informell entwickelnden Wohngebieten stark verbessert. Diese werden nicht mehr einfach ignoriert oder verdrängt. So zeigt sich auch immer dringlicher die Notwendigkeit experimentellen Vorgehens vor Ort. Eine wachsende Zahl von Architektinnen und Stadtplanern hat erkannt, dass solche Siedlungen dauerhaft sind und gezielte Eingriffe erfordern, um bessere Lebensbedingungen für die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner zu schaffen.«Critical Neighbourhoods» bildet einen substanziellen Beitrag zu diesem besseren Verständnis von informellen Lebensräumen. Das Buch bietet Analysen durchführbarer und wirksamer Massnahmen für informelle Wohngebiete in Afrika, Lateinamerika und Indien sowie Untersuchungen der engen Verflechtung von räumlicher Praxis, kultureller Identität und sozialem Engagement. Es stellt neue Formen des «Machens» von Architektur und neue Wege für die Auseinandersetzung mit bedrängten Lebensgemeinschaften vor, thematisiert geografische Unterschiede auch auf lokaler Ebene und untersucht Verschränkungen zwischen einzelnen Stadtvierteln und ihrem weiteren Umfeld. Ein Gespräch zwischen den fünf Autorinnen und Autoren, moderiert von Matthew Barac, rundet den Band ab.Mit Beiträgen von Julia King, Paulo Moreira, Elisa Silva, AbdouMaliq Simone und Ines Weizman sowie einem von Matthew Barac moderierten Gespräch zwischen den Autorinnen und Autoren.
