在不平等日益严重的情况下，非正式现象日益增多，在许多地方已成为常态。然而，尽管几十年的研究和干预，“承认非正式”仍然是一个关键问题。本文提供了一个文献综述非正式显示其概念化的转变。本文首先讨论的概念方法有关的术语“非正规”在城市发展的背景下，然后检查的做法，并与非正规性，它的结论与评估的政策方法及其影响的文献报道。该文件发现了广泛的概念化，包括对该术语的有用性和适当性的质疑。它发现了“非正式”（迄今为止所理解的）传播到中产阶级的证据，并越来越多地出现在全球北方。政策似乎是滞后的，他们如何与所谓的非正式接触，很少承认的理论和有限的了解他们对'非正式'的做法的影响。最后，本文确定了需要更好地了解治理框架，包括通常与所谓的“非正规性”有关的行为者的范围。
Informality is growing in a context of increasing inequity, and in many places becoming the norm. However, despite decades of studies and interventions, 'recognising informality' is still a key issue. This paper provides a review of the literature on informality showing the shifts in its conceptualisations. The paper firstly discusses conceptual approaches related to the term 'informality' in the context of urban development; it then examines practices within, and related to, informality; and it concludes with an appraisal of policy approaches and their impact as reported in the literature. The paper finds a wide range of conceptualisations, including the questioning of the usefulness and appropriateness of the term. It finds reported evidence of 'informality' (as understood to date) spreading to the middle classes, and increasingly emerging in the Global North. Policies seem to be lagging behind in how they engage with so-called informality, with little acknowledgement of theory and limited understanding of their impacts on 'informal' practices. Finally, the paper identifies the need for better understanding of governance frameworks that include the range of actors that would normally be associated with so-called 'informality'.
