非正规性，被理解为一个经济部门或作为一种形式的住房和服务提供，主导着南方城市，即使学科划分主导着非正规性及其影响的研究。作者试图超越这些分歧，集中在两个印度城市，德里和阿赫梅达巴德在不同的结构条件下的城市空间的生产。使用Lefebvrian的理论框架，作者考察了现有的文献，以解开非正式的相互构成的政治和空间实践。由此产生的隔离空间可以与非正式政治联系在一起，这种政治不仅包括日常的抵抗和为实现收益而进行的缓慢侵蚀，还包括公开抗议、集体动员和暴力的偶发时刻。在强调这些影响时，空间理论的产生也提出了为新的抵抗地点创造知识的问题。
Informality, understood either as an economic sector or as a form of shelter and service provision, dominates Southern cities, even as disciplinary divides dominate the study of informality and its impacts. The author seeks to move beyond these divides by focusing on the production of urban space under different structural conditions in two Indian cities, Delhi and Ahmedabad. Using a Lefebvrian theoretical framework, the author examines existing literature to unpack the mutually constitutive political and spatial practices of informality. The segregated spaces thus produced can be linked to a politics of informality that includes not just everyday resistance and creeping encroachments to achieve gains, but also episodic moments of open protest, collective mobilization, and violence. In highlighting these impacts, production of space theories also open up the question of generating knowledge for new sites of resistance.
