本文探讨了在非正式住区中空间增量生产是如何起作用的。作为全球南方城市城市化的关键挑战之一，非正式住区不能简单地通过无情的拆除和驱逐来解决，因为它们通常可以在同一地点逐步升级。这种升级的做法依赖于对城市形态和适应如何在非正式住区中发挥作用的复杂理解。在本文中，我通过对印度浦那一个非正式住区的案例研究来关注空间的流动性。主要的研究方法是观察和目视记录。这项研究的结果提供了一个更好的理解非正规住区如何在城市形态和适应方面发挥作用。这种理解对于探索如何在公共开放空间、接入网络、建筑和功能组合等方面的规范逐步升级的情况下发展非正式性的能力起着重要作用。本文为建筑环境专业人员有效参与非正式住区的增量转型提供了途径。
This paper engages with how the incremental production of space works in informal settlements. As one of the critical challenges of urbanism in the cities of the global South, informal settlements cannot be simply addressed through ruthless practices of demolition and eviction since they can often be incrementally upgraded on the same site. Such practices of upgrading rely on a sophisticated understanding of how urban morphology and adaptation work in informal settlements. In this paper, I focus on the fluidity of space by drawing on a case study of an informal settlement in Pune, India. The key research methods are observation and visual recording. The results of this study provide a better understanding of how informal settlements work in terms of urban morphologies and adaptations. Such an understanding plays a significant role in exploring how the capacities of informality can be developed in consistency with the incremental upgrading of codes regarding public open space, access network, construction, and functional mix. This paper contributes to the ways in which built environment professions can effectively engage with incremental transformations of informal settlements.
