非正规住区已成为创造空间和获得负担得起的住房的重要途径之一，特别是在全球南方。大部分关于公共空间塑造的文献都集中在全球北方的城市，而对全球南方更拥挤、更不正规的城市如何塑造公共空间却知之甚少。本文致力于理解非正式住区公共空间塑造的挑战，重点探讨麦德林（哥伦比亚）案例研究中的空间结构和变化增量。这主要是一个城市设计的探索，部署直接观察，广泛的城市摄影，并作为主要的研究方法现场笔记。本文提供了一个关键的案例研究，它经历了形式的非正式和正式的转变。在选定的案例研究中探讨了空间结构和变化增量，并在相关文献的背景下进一步讨论。本文认为，在非正式住区的公共空间的塑造可以被认为是“未完成”的意义上说，他们的“不完整性”，使一定程度的灵活性，可能的适应关系到个人/集体的需求和愿望。本文还反映了如何生产混合形态可以被认为是一种尝试，可能会促进未来形式的正规化和/或升级，使一定程度的视觉相似性被认为是正式的城市。这项研究的结果可以通过更好地了解非正规住区的公共空间是如何形成的，为相关的改造做法提供信息。
Informal settlement has become one of the critical ways of producing space and accessing affordable housing, particularly in the context of the global South. Much of the established literature on the shaping of public space focuses on cities of the global North, and little is known about how public spaces are being shaped in more congested and less formal cities of the global South. This paper engages with the challenge of understanding the shaping of public space in informal settlements with a focus on exploring the spatial structures and increments of change in a case study in Medellin (Colombia). This is primarily an urban design exploration, which deploys direct observation, extensive urban photography, and field notes as key research methods. This paper contributes a critical case study, which has experienced forms of informal and formal transformations. The spatial structures and increments of change are explored in the selected case study and further discussed in the context of the relevant literature. This paper argues that much of the shaping of public space in informal settlements can be considered as “unfinished” in the sense that their “incompleteness” enables a degree of flexibility for possible adaptations in relation to individual/collective needs and desires. The article also reflects on how producing mixed morphologies can be considered as an attempt that may possibly facilitate future forms of formalisation and/or upgrading by enabling a degree of visual resemblance with what is considered as the formal city. The findings of this study can inform the related upgrading practices by providing a better understanding of how public spaces are being shaped in informal settlements.
