“Informal city” as the name suggests deals with the part of
the city which is informal in nature. The city which consists of people not professions
or monuments, it’s about the “humane “ part of it. “The generic architecture of
slums, favelas and shanty towns might, in one sense, be labelled as the
dominating housing solution of contemporary urban life.” Informal city is a city built by people
fighting the struggle for existence and not by the architects and engineers. A house
which is built informally is self-sufficient and more fulfilling to a person’s psyche.
