Urban informality

The urban informality is the starting point of a research on urban phenomena that characterize the contemporary city, particularly my hometown, Lima, a city plagued by social inequality and divided, as a result, into two large blocks: the formal and informal city. Having studied the barriadas a term used to describe slums and all marginal and informal urban settlements in Lima, I have expanded my research with an ecological and sustainable urban proposal, the development of this strategy in the informal territory starts with the application of a specific device determining the info free system whose main feature is the creation of a dynamic process of intervention for each specific scope in this Urban Strategy.

However her hometown Lima is where she has  discovered the urban informality contexts. Her research is focused on the development of informal cases as paradigm of contemporary cities.
