Loose Fit City : The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning - Routledge 2006 - 352p. 15.24 x 1.98 x 22.86 cm

Shadow Cities is at its best shining an investigative lens into areas of urban life that have seldom been described before. It is a wonderful story of the vitality and creativity of ordinary people who have managed to survive and sometimes even prosper in the face of government indifference if not hostility. This book reveals squatter communities from Rio to Bombay that give a glimpse into our urban future and show new visions of what constitutes property and community.
