This book seeks to interrogate and document the conditions of informality in the city of Guadalajara in Mexico. Contemporary cities in developing nations face great challenges as informal economies are becoming increasingly dominant. Rural migration and population explosions contribute to the rapidly expanding urban territories. Many turn to a well-esthablished culture of informality where housing, commerce and public space are shaped by the ad hoc, the contingent and the easily obtainable.
