Public Lecture, 'INFORMAL URBANISM' by Prof. Kim Dovey (University of Melbourne) August 19, 2008

ABSTRACT
Informal settlements house about a billion people globally. Being
strongly identified with 'slums' and 'squatter' housing, they are rarely
seen as forms of 'urban design' and are largely unstudied in morphological
terms. This lecture will present a morphological study of informal
urbanism in Yogyakarta and some prospects and dilemmas for research into the
forms of informality.
