The immediacy of this topic can be found in recent urban research positing that the neighbourhood is at substantial risk of fading into history as global mega-projects with vast footprints, master plans, and large-scale privatization of urban space are " kill[ing] much of the urban tissue " of smaller urban spaces.

Imitation the face of it, his approach to these urban questions may seem familiar, in that do something is concerned with close analysis of everyday growth. But his combination of close ethnographic analysis, substantial description of urban complexity and an impressive order of conceptual generation and experimentation presents a esoteric challenge to how we research, conceive and get by urbanism.
In contrast to the mainstream idea that cities in the Global South are ‘dysfunctional&#
