Informal settlements are often characterized as “illegal” residential formations lacking basic infrastructure, security of tenure, adequate housing, etc. However such an interpretation is only the tip of the iceberg, underneath which lay the various and complex socio-cultural processes that lead to informal settlements’ formation. In order to evaluate the phenomenon, it is therefore necessary to analyze the underlying socio-cultural context.
