Thematic focus 2021-22:
"The bottom-up city: interpretations, processes, actors."
Keywords:
Bottom-up, Arrival City, Slums, Favelas, Mega Cities, Informal Economy
The central topics of the course are informal urbanisation processes, especially in the so-called "countries of the global south" or "developing countries" as they used to be called. The dynamics of these processes are in obvious contrast to the claim to influence urban development through centralised planning and development control. Urban growth continues unabated, urban development takes place - planned, unplanned or planned in "other-", for example informal ways.
The speed of the globalisation phenomenon and its consequences reinforce the polarisation between controlled and uncontrolled processes, but at the same time also create potential for change, such as the breaking down of the demarcation between the formerly so-called "First" and "Third World". The change from a rural to an urban society, aspects of (internal) migration, the emergence of an informal sector and the resulting urban planning consequences up to the formation of mega-cities and informal settlement neighbourhoods created through bottom-up planning processes are under discussion.

The course "Informal Urban Development" is an integrative part of the module "Development and Process Control" in winter semester 21-22.
Students who are registered for the module "Development and Process Control" do not have to register separately for "Informal Urban Development".
Students who only take the "Informal Urban Development" (not the entire module) are requested to register here.
Should it become necessary to limit the number of participants for the course "Informal Urban Development" (which was not the case in previous semesters!), I ask for your understanding that participants who will complete the entire module "Development and Process Control" will be given priority.
