On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work.0The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities - spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. 606 $aCity planning$zLatin America 606 $aSquatter settlements$zLatin America 606 $aPublic spaces$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$2fast 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aSquatter settlements 615 0$aPublic spaces 676 $a711.4098 700 $aSilva$b Elisa$c(Architecture professor),$01250462 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811009903321 996 $aPure space$94024397 997 $aUNINA
