Informality as a strategy to formalize: Finding housing in Bamako, Mali

  • Dolores Koenig American University, Washington, DC, Stati Uniti

Abstract

Informality can be a gateway to formality. The growing urban population of Bamako believed that peri-urban land not yet deeded offered potential for future ownership. Village chiefs collaborated with them to allocate plots, sometimes mimicking formal procedures, believing it improved prospects for subsequent legalization. The very prospects of future formalization motivated action.
