"The transformation of central Melbourne since the since the 1980s is a global success story: or rather, many success stories. Public space has been incrementally reclaimed from cars and railyards, and street-life volumes have increased dramatically. From turning its back on the water, Melbourne has become a waterfront city. The decline of central city retailing has been turned around and the formerly negligible residential population is booming. The city has grown grown greener: literally, environmentally and politically. Laneways that were once filled with garbage are now filled with bars, housing and art. Always an urbane place, Melbourne has re-emerged as a city with a depth of character and urban buzz that is palpable, ineffable and unfinished. Urban Choreography: Melbourne 1985- documents and critiques the range of urban design transformations over this period, together with the key events, plans, projects, places and people involved. It seeks to understand the intermeshing of social, economic, political, environmental and aesthetic forces that drove and constrained these changes, and concludes by looking forward to the possibilities for another thirty years of change. 'Urban Choreography' invokes the idea that the shaping of these multiple movements could create chaos, but can be guided to work in synergy."--

Informal settlements and slums are the most pervasive modes of urbanization on the planet, housing up to 2 billion people and absorbing most rural-to-urban migration worldwide. This presents architects, urban planners, and everyone working to improve the lives of the world's urban poor, with a uniquely complex and urgent challenge. Featuring 51 contemporary case studies of informal settlements from over 30 cities across the Global South, the Atlas of Informal Settlement is the first book to map the processes by which informal settlements and slums grow and develop. Each case study uses maps and aerial photographs to examine the key stages of development, while accompanying texts outline the impact of environmental, social, economic and political factors - ultimately revealing the hidden rules and logics embodied in informal settlements worldwide. As the focus of sustainable urban development shifts towards the upgrade of slums through community collaboration, it has become vital to understand how such places develop. The Atlas of Informal Settlement provides key insights, enabling designers and planners to better harness the positive capacities of informal production. The book is also interspersed with short chapters introducing key theoretical concepts - the issues and complexities at stake when thinking about informal settlements - making this book essential reading for all students, academics, and professionals working in informal settlement contexts, from architects and urban designers to NGOs, policy-makers, and community activists
