Metropolis Nonformal

The world's population is ballooning, and most of Earth's new citizens will live in urban areas. Cities around the globe are already collectively occupied by billions of people with many of these metropolises and megalopolises lacking the organized, government-facilitated infrastructure of so-called "modern" cities in North America and Europe. Instead, residents build their own housing with whatever materials are available, using methods and standards that are sometimes dangerous-and other times ingenious. In fact, safety and health risks do not preclude self-built brilliance, nor vice versa.
