Processes of consolidation and differentiation of informal settlements : Case study Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Mexico City

informal settlement, urban form, spatial analysis, urbanisation

The objective of this work is to document the spatial and functional differentiation of informal settlements, thereby using Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl in Mexico City as a case study. As an interpretation reference of such differentiation, the growth stages of settlements were used. Still, the major finding of this research is, that the evolution and resulting characteristics of such settlements can be better understood, if the phenomenon of informal urbanization was considered from the perspective of the concept of a City framework. Nevertheless, the qualities of this new type of urban agglomeration can be considered unique so that it differs strongly from the conventional idea of city.
