Adaptive resistance amidst planning and administrative failure

What is it about?

The paper argues that communities have a way of mobilizing and building their own "cities" when formal systems responsible for the provision of these facilities fail. Thus, despite the physical appearance of these informal settlements, the organizational and institutional structures that underpin their emergence, growth and consolidation are very complex. The paper uses an example of an informal settlement in the city of Kitwe in Zambia.
